Anybody (paging Rdbass) have a clip of a hitter holding the bat out front, then pulling back and hitting? I don't mean fake bunt/hit, but just the style of holding the bat in front as a timing technique.
Any thoughts on this style?
My DD has developed a bad habit of dropping hands, dumping barrel and dragging bat (drop & drag, you might call it). She knows how to swing correctly, but for the life of her, she couldn't undo the problem in game action. Then last week, she noticed in practice that she could cure the problem if she adopted this style of holding the bat out front. It forced hands to come back (rather than down).
Wondered what people thought about this, pros/cons. Only concern is that it's a long ways to bring the hands back and is not as efficient (theoretically) as a more still 'walking away from hands' approach.
She hit very well this weekend, though. Probably best of the year so far. Might be a coincidence, but for now, it looks like she has a new hitting style.
