You get a ball that's about where you are comfortable holding your hands. The ball is also meant to keep tight. And like you said if you drop it you're doing it wrong. And not keeping tight with your body, arms, connection.
Neat drill and like it. Not sure why you are telling him to aim for the bottom half of the baseball though. Teach him to hit through the center of the ball - it will help out a lot more with contact and power.
Is the ball just meant to keep space or is it an indicator that if he loses it early, he’s doing it wrong?
