I’ve got a few girls that rotate late and swing all arms and are late. Trying to get them to rotate first to help get the barrel out front sooner. Is this totally wrong?

Come on CB.

Have them move their hands and arm as fast as they can without moving their hips or shoulders.

And this is what you would call the Minn/Dak Swunt...

Or the Minn/Dak Linear Hands Golfing Fly Swatter (Where they deliberately teach the girls to absolutely slam the bat into their back because the bat has so much linear and upward force, they hang onto the bat with both hands and the bat comes over their shoulder and head like a golf club, and slams into their back. The hips and shoulders only rotate enough to allow the rear hand to clear the rear hip, and then the shoulders and hips STOP, and only the hands and arms move)

And some of the Travel Ball, High School and College Coaches are deliberately teaching this...

No I'm serious...they are purposefully teaching this up here...
