    10u dd

    Yes, but in her finger tips (not opposed to the RHD either). Five swings like that then a full swing - over and over.

    10u dd

    NBD, I bet when she connects the ball goes a long way! I'm curious though, do you or does someone else teach her that palmy grip? I also kind of like that little stop swing after her first full swing, though it looks like it slips in her hand the bat is on her shoulder. Personally, I like the...

    Thanks for the responses. They are no longer looking.

    Two 16u players looking for summer travel team - NE Ohio

    I have a lefty 1st baseman with a canon, and a middle infielder/utility with speed. Both are 16. Would like to keep them together. Please call J at 440-789-3073.

    10yo DD

    RS, I think Howe gave excellent advice in his first post. In your first clip the ball is way out in front - and she doesn't lunge! She might be traveling a ways, but doesn't that simulate where she might hit the ball on a change-up (when you say she struggles with a change, at 10u we're often...

    13 Y.O. open for discussion.

    I agree SL, but I wonder if some of that might be resolved by repositioning her in relation to the ball. If you backed her up a bit, brought her toward the camera, would her weight shift look better? It seems she might be staying back because she's set up to hit the ball later in the zone...

    New coach, advice please

    My advice, just teach them the game confidently. They'll know when they have a coach who delights in the game for itself, not for promoting their kid, and that is contagious. Teach them fundamental mechanics and positions, and why they do what they do - they love to learn, you'll see their...

    Model swings

    It's not my DD. I came across this watching Lauren Chamberlain on you-tube, I think. I wouldn't have posted in Model Swings if I were asking for a critique, though I completely welcome PM's suggesting why I shouldn't have posted it here. I still don't see a reason. If anything comes of this, she...

    Model swings

    On the all back, all forward thing. Her weight is not getting outside her back foot, and I'm not sure how you'd categorize that transfer as all forward, looks balanced to me. Do you mean something else by abaf?

    Crank, would you mind sending me a PM about that? If you get some time..

    Model swings

    She's trying to go to different parts of the field. Does your observation apply when she's going up the middle and to left?

    What do you see g/b/u (good, bad, ugly) on my 14U's swing

    It's an interesting comparison with her older sis (if I understand correctly that they're sisters). Older sis has good weight transfer, you can see the difference in younger being too far forward. Both have an issue with extension - though congrats that they're apparently both successful...

    DP/FLEX Memory Tools

    Hey now, I wasn't posting a gimmicky short cut Mr. :) Just something that helped me later in my journey as indeed I studied and studied - just think little memory tools help in that process. In regard to the FLEX running multiple times for the DP, I posted a sort of progression in my OP where...
