The few years I have been on this site, that is all I hear, this has to be in your swing. I hear dont worry about toe touch, bent knee, you need this hip coil!!!
Next comes videos of Jeter and all these MLB players with extra pronounced hip coils.
Parents come on here read this over and over and post swings of there daughter. They do have this big hip coil. But most of the rest of the swing went to h#ll. Loading around the corner, loading over top the back leg, landing real hard on a flat foot. ect.
I say becarefull how you teach a hip coil
I like what swingbuilder said. Resistance with the hip. I believe he means, load the inside of the leg and hold that with the front hip until you need to unleash it.
Howard teachs arms out like a plane. Load the hips all the way with out torking the shoulders out of parrallel.
Torking the shoulders around the corner then the kids start to swing circular. Knob over the plate too much.
I teach a mild load and concentrate on straight back, straight through the ball. Good hand path and not loading over top the back leg.
Starting to get a collection of home run balls from students.
So the big question???? How BIG of a hip coil do you teach.
