Issue we have with hitting with the tackling dummy or a foam filled Punching bag. Most kids do not finish the swing correctly and we must work on extension with many of them. So why would we want to hit anything that won't allow them to finish the swing?

I agree, I see so many kids that do not finish or have a poor finish. The goal is to give the ball direction and to stay in contact with the ball for as long as possible.

I see the finishing side....however i am just now teaching rotational to them. they have been taught linear arm swinging. with the bag it seems as if a light switch has went off. after the bag i will soft toss or let them hit the stick and make sure the are swinging right and following through. one of my problems i have had is letting them swing to make contact.. instead of making them swing right (rotational with correct hand path)...at this point i would rather them strike out swinging right than to hit a dinker....I am still learning, and this is a great site for that.
