Rd- what are you working on and what do you see that needs improvement?
She's flattening it behind her back so she can pull the knob of the bat. Just get her to turn the barrel. That should make a world of difference.
Try explaining to her about the rear hip pivot point. If that rear hip is a point that is going forward...every thing above that point can pull backwards...with the back's muscles...that point will pull forward against rearward pull...keep pulling back and add a pivot point of the barrel turning backwards around the hands...that will equal a barrel being whipped around a corner from behind the rear hip.
Take away all thought of forcefully swinging forward into the ball.
So the leg irs, the back pulls back, creates a hpp...keep pulling back and iring will increase the stretch until it gives and whips the barrel.
...IDK I must have explained it 30 different ways to 15 or so kids...it takes something different to get each one to understand. I do believe you have to show them...cause no one believes you can keep pulling back and flick your barrel rearward and still hit a ball hard coming from in front of you.
I thought Laura had it. We have been doing SNF(a great drill) and I see her turning the barrel but, throw a ball at her and you see what we got. I put off looking at the video until today. I kind of knew what I was going to see. I can turn the barrel. I can tell and show other posters DD's how to turn the barell but, Laura can't turn the barrel against a live ball. What am I missing I need something that will click with Laura. Thanks for all your help.

Good advice right here.
