Back foot in the air

[Jim]

I don't know if I would recommend picking up her foot up entirely, but pivoting onto the tip of her toe during follow through is fine.

I do not think that trying to pivot to the tip of the toe during the follow through is a good idea!!! This will promote drift to the front side and also promotes coming up off the lower half. The natural lift off of the back foot should happen due to the proper sequence of energy releasing through the swing. It should only happen for a split second when the barrel is flying through the hitting zone.

Don't force this natural action, it is a byproduct of a good sequence!!!

I think this would be impossible, show me the video

I agree, there are some things posters put on this website that just need video support.

She looks real good! And excellent photo.

the rear foot is a symptom of doing everything else right. Whether it is off the ground or on the toe I think it's all pretty much the same. we had this discussion earlier talking about Albert Pujols and as I recall, how much of the toe was in contact with the ground (if at all) had to do with pitch location.

It just illustrates that she has shifted her weight forward (correctly) and correctly transferred energy to the ball (at contact).
