The biggest thing I learned my first time through TB is that most of my former players at this age were timing off of the pitcher's arm motion versus the ball speed. I have had great success using, what I call, "the board." I can talk all day until I'm blue in the face but few recognize the importance of timing the ball versus timing when to launch. I get continuously flamed for my theory which is why I don't post often on the hitting threads. So, if you want help, PM me.
Are you talking about the actual swing launch or the "gather" part of the swing? If you don't start any movement at all until you are able to recognize pitch location/speed you are going to get beat an awful lot
in my opinion.
