    Hitting just under the ball

    I certainly appreciate everyone’s input. This pitch was a little up, and I do see him raising up prior to this release. I’m attaching another swing from the same day that he was also under (inside of) that was lower he didn’t come out of posture as far as I can tell. (The only pitch he missed...

    Hitting just under the ball

    Thanks, everyone. So I get the sense that it looks like he’s losing some or all of his coil prior to launch which is affecting his ability to barrel up on the ball? (I obviously like using the stressors of game video versus tee or batting practice) That tilt/launch move as Teacherman does it...

    Hitting just under the ball

    I love this forum, and my DD who’s now 17 has turned out to be a pretty good hitter. I’m now trying to teach my son the same HLP. Right now, however, he’s been in a bit of a slump. Swing looks pretty darn good, but he’s slicing just under the ball whether the bat is vertical to diagonal on a...

    Hitting pitchers with upper level movement and velocity

    So my DD is a freshman who has continued to improve markedly each year to become pretty successful hitter the last couple of years, and has a quick lefty swing folks often comment positively about. She currently starts on her varsity team with a group of experienced and fairly talented older...

    Picked up habit of dropping hands

    My DD used to drop hers a tad too much as well. Lots and lots of front toss with shoulder high pitches helped her improve. Coach your dd to keep the hands high and level on those pitches.

    Feedback on swing

    Upper half, sequence, weight shift, and coil isn't too bad. From my perspective, I'd prefer that front side to open more, and pull through with the core. You'll notice the guy in the gif above where his front side starts turning over his front foot and heel. Your DD is blocking her front side...

    Swing out from the body

    I see a lot of girls in particular, stopping or blocking their front side core movement, and then launching their hands/arms at the ball. For me, it was important to stress to my DD to power the swing with the core all the way through, including an emphasis on her front side, and then explain...

    11yo Swing advice

    I definitely understand what's being recommended here, and we'll get to work on this right away. I personally didn't understand where the "stretch" needed to take place until reading this (and going back and reading old strings). She's really good at making adjustments, and understanding her...

    11yo Swing advice

    We concentrated on hip coil tonight, especially after reading many past threads on the issue. Very informative indeed. DD still has too much bat wrap, I think, but I'm glad to work on these things with her. http://youtu.be/3FL0NynZX2U

    11yo Swing advice

    I've been a longtime lurker and learned a lot through this site. My DD plays 10u ball and works very hard at the game she loves. She's not been centering or driving the ball in games as well as she would like (although it's early in the season). She is confident in her abilities, has pretty...
