It is my opinion that the main flaw in flawed swing, which most are, is the absence of what Cabrera is doing to initiate his swing, or not doing it as well as he does. He's moving that bat quite a bit prior to his hands going forward.
I frequently see girls who have a "chipper" swing, in that they launch directly downward toward the point of contact from their ready position. I see it all the time in many travelball players. So, for me, if I were to choose a main focus of hitting practice, it would definitely be a focus on what you see Cabrera do in this clip. Pay particular attention to what's happening to the hands. Of course, everything else he's doing here ties in.
Yup, what he does to initiate the "C" likely has a lot to do with why he seen as such a model hitter.
