I made 3 statements/observations...

Could be they are not generating enough bat momentum at contact due to the combination of lack of bat speed/weight

somewhat agree. I see it as they are not strong enough to manipulate the bat and ‘compensate’. They have to ‘stop’ to deliver the barrel.

I know some don’t like weighted balls but they are good for driving the core through the ball

Yep...we have used weighted balls to reinforce driving "through" impact. But gotta make sure not to use composite bats with heavy balls. I have an old aluminum bat we use for my team at that station in BP.

Love the swing Quigs.. QQ, do you have a video of her hitting in a cage... machine fed?

Nope.. will have to wait until we have access to one again when our league fields open up. Still waiting...

Ok, I finally have a video of her hitting front toss. I was the one pitching from about 15ft away while another coach took the video. I have 3 swings in normal speed and then he also put the same 3 swings in a video on Slo Mo.

3 things stand out for me that need to be improved especially on slo mo, but I want to hear ideas from others as well.
Also, to give a sense of distance for these 3 hits ...this is on a field that is 200ft fences and 1 hit was about 180. Can you tell which one? The other two were a line drive/ground ball to LF and a fly ball to CF.

Drag is an over rotation thing. Or a rotation thing. It should be addressed. Early side bend is also a killer. That happens mostly bc the frontside isn’t leveraged.

The main culprit is powering the swing with rotation from the ground up. See if this makes sense.




4:15 mark.

Don't try this at home?
