I do what Harper is doing with a drastic change. I toss tennis balls up in the area of the shoulder while the hitter is in their stance. They have to hit the tennis ball with the knob. They can not push it away from the shoulder and down as Harper is doing. The reason I do the drill this way is that I want my hitters to point the knob and deliver the barrel. Typically, that knob travels about 2 inches and comes into connection with the shoulder complex when the drill is done correctly.

Not sure if you are joking or not ... the cue, as I understood it as instructed by Gwyn was not about pushing the hands.

He's possibly thinking "Swing down to create back spin". Honestly, I don't know what his thought process is here but that's just a piece of his progression drills. I do know that it's clips like these that have ruined hitting in America. "If Harper takes the knob to the ball, I'm gonna too!" "If Trout says he swings down, I'm gonna too!
"If Arod says he's swinging down to the ball, I'm gonna too! IT'S THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS! I've had this argument numerous times and I'm sure a lot of you folks have too. Dad comes up to me and asks, what do you think of this drill? I say Garbage. Why? So I'll pop up a clip of a swing on my phone of let's say Harper... then I'll ask "where do you see him swinging down?" My argument is done by then but since Harper does this drill dad goes off and does it anyway. I'm sure most is out of context here but maybe I'm just here to vent a bit
