I like the way the hitter in these pics is bringing the rear shoulder under the front shoulder instead of around it. I do have a question about tee depth. Maybe it's the angle but it looks like the tee is set pretty far out in front. While the inside setup would be ok the mid to outside setups might require a push to reach? Anyone know the specifics on that drill?
Need help with what I think is "casting"

Is there a "correct" way to use the whip-hit that doesn't require pushing the elbow/hands/knob forward as the initial movement??
Perhaps setting the tee up mid plate or well inside the front foot instead of out front then working on back shoulder under front shoulder hitting middle right?

It is the head of the barrel that travels in the path of an arc. Observe the barrel tip in the swing clips below.
It’s not really debatable. If you follow the instructions provided with the WhipHit, and what you acknowledge to be promoting, then you will not have the barrel path seen above.

YEE:
Sorry there were only still shots no video. Maybe SBFamily can explain?
Look at the point of contact. That is a very good reason she was a great batter. The deeper the ball gets the better the ability to accurately put the bat on it. And the greater the power.
This, IMO, is a poor way to initiate a swing.
Your opinion. Because you don't teach that hitting philosophy
and? Your point? The head does not travel in a perfect arc no matter what one may draw.
Casting is attempting to make the hands travel in an arc
And yet you see hands driving in a linear path nonetheless, following the instructions povided
It was designed to provide feedback for that specific hitting style

LOL ... according to the manual it's purpose is to reinforce initiating the swing by pushing the hands forward ... not how the best initiate their swings.
