ROPE
It's an old drill...but one I find very effective. You need a softball, some thick garden gloves and some rope about 12 feet long. Drill a hole through the softball and insert the rope. Tie a knot on both sides of the hole.
Put the batter in her regular stance, and stand opposite her. Start swinging the ball on the rope, through her strike zone. Hang on tight cause if they get a hold of it the balls takes off (thus the gloves).
I find this is great because you can vary the speed of the ball and the location. It's especially useful when you've got a variety of kids working on tees, in a cage etc. and there's some one on one time.
