Most of your girls can not even throw correctly and we are driving professional hitting mechanics down your throat. Even martial arts has a progress to obtain a black belt so I guess we just skipped a few degrees and belts and decided it would be incumbent to introduce your daughter to the exact style of the MLB Elite Swing Pattern at the young age of 10 to 12 years old.
Thanks Howard
Once again we seem to be getting off-track. The thread is about looking at the big picture of hitting, and how those of us who are trying to help our daughters/players/students hitting can work together to protect the work the kids -- and we -- have put in. In other words, how do we get the word out and get the general principles that are part of so-called rotational hitting accepted or at least allowed instead of dismissed by narrow-minded or old thinking coaches.
