BR swing was momentum based in their earlier instructions. BR couldn't get their hitters onto their front side/foot fast enough. They've since changed that but, that was my biggest 'beef' with them at the time.

Shouldn't have to teach the core. The core reacts. Tell me or show me how you isolate the core when teaching the swing? Another NO TEACH! Over baked..over taught...useless. If an athlete can't find their core...do something else because it's not that hard. What's hard is not naturally using the core.

Well there you go. The D-Up approach is for many of these kids to find another activity.

Proper use of the core helps inspire the lead-arm to be a swinger.

But, yet, thousands of young players across the country pick up a bat and swing it by using primarily their arms, with little to no power contribution from their core.
Thats not what I said you should do!
If that's what you gathered from what I said then, OK!
But you didn't address my question to you! How are you isolating the training of the core?
You said that using the core is a "no teach", and that it's hard to not naturally use the core. I haven't found that to be true. Some put it together on their own, many - most, probably - do not. For those that don't, I usually start with the simple request of asking them to power the swing with the rotation of their body (get those hips turning!), rather than swinging with their arms. How they interpret and apply that instruction will dictate how things proceed from there. A lot has to do with the age and experience of the player.
