Hi everyone! I hope this question make sense. I've been stalking this site for awhile and have read a lot from the technical hitting forum. Here is where my question comes in: when coaching new batters, I know what I am looking for per se, but struggle with wording it to my kids. I'm curious what phrases you have used that really get points across to help your kids understand what you are wanting to see. I am not talking about any specific area, just all general parts of the swing. Thanks!

I try to not tell them much but move their bodies into certain positions. If there hands are boxed, I turn their hands. If their weight is off, I will usually pull them by the elbow. So that they feel their weight shift. Unless they feel it, it's hard to understand.
