Might look a bit different if the bottom hand didn't already start 'flat' (on plane).

And more specifically the bottom hand wrist is locked in extension costing Her depth....

Interesting... I remember doing this drill with my daughter when she was 9 or 10 years old. She's 18 now...

You see the issue with this ... right?

Perhaps okay to get an initial feel of allowing the body to be 'tilted' ... may be useful for someone with a 'level shoulder mentality' to get an initial feel ... but I wouldn't make a habit of this drill beyond getting the notion across that it is okay for the body to be 'tilted'.

So question specific to these two .gifs

Obviously Mike Trout is a freak and Mookie is well hes a freak also. But both seem to me (An untrained enthusiast) to be showing some "back" in their swing. Now granted with Trout it could be the angle of the camera so if Im mistaken my apologies, but in my daughters hitting she has a tendency to coil to much with her upper torso and then of course swings with all arms with no lower half. Any thoughts on correction?

edit - I did quote the wrong .gif sorry. Khris is not Mookie my apologies. However my question applies to all 3 of them.

I do not see the issue with this. Is it a bad drill to do with ball set belt high? Please explain the issue. I have never tried this drill but I think it might help players who arm swing and get them to understand rotation better.

Also FFS could you explain Butt? Bottom hand under or thru top hand??

Thanks
