Read a post and was wondering what you teach. Does the bat split the back of your helmet once loaded or 45 degrees behind your head?

Knob to catchers feet or knee or straight up and down?

All - wherever the hitter is comfortable and productive.

Edit: Prefer knob to the catcher.

Well I have always taught split the back of your helmet with your bat. DD has fell in love with hitting from the neck slot and it looks to far behind her helmet to me. Doesn't want to take it off her shoulder/neck. When she loads the knob is pointed towards the catchers belly button probably. She is very inconsistent but crushes when hot.

I’m not sure I’m understanding the difference b/w the 2 positions you described. Splitting the helmet meaning almost flat? If so, I would expect the result to be a DBSF-type swing.
