Critique my kids swing!

Trying to achieve a stretched core at foot down is the micro goal.. while timing a ball that doesn’t have a location yet. So being in a position of leverage/power into and through committal is the goal. I’ll post some examples of what is good. You can always compare your dd swing to great hitters and learn where youve gone wrong or right

Pretty basic loading patterns. Fundamentally sound. See the core ‘snap’ after the hips drop? That’s the goal..

Much better use of lower half.

Yeah we know you like linear pushing. Do you even know what you’re looking at? OMG Barry are you spinning?? lol amateur hour..

You should ask ‘why’ first

You’re not really saying that is foot spin are you? I can discuss things with you but I won’t if you’re going to stoop to name calling.

OP,

Barry’s stance is great to mimic w the dry swings. This is what I mean by flexed. You’re very compact and ready to extend where and when needed.



On another note watch the core elongate then contract money move. Partially from maintaining posture and partially from getting the foot down w timing(hip drop(stretch)and also partially from swinging(hips work up after).. BOOM!!

Enjoy watching this hitting real over and over and over... gratifying!

Calling you an amateur is purely based off your analysis. Nothing personal. Kinda like your ‘hips turn hands drag’ mantra that you swear is right, even though every pro has said otherwise..

the back foot is different bc of timing and force input. Always has been always will be. You just haven’t learned that yet.. amateur analysis.. folks like you who learned hitting 10 years ago and then stopped learning can’t hang in todays convos so you cry victim. Sounds like a ‘you’ problem doesn’t it?

He has a better lower half?? More amateur analysis. What does that even mean. You’re just spewing catch phrases to be right. Understand that when you speak to me I’ll ask for an explanation. I will hold you accountable.

You know Barry’s back foot never got to his toes early. why? He was spinning? HA! No. He just waited a Loonngggg time so there wasn’t much foot action to see. Not much ‘lower half’. He let the ball come into his arc not the other way around. Food for thought? Why yes it is? Will you eat or starve yourself? Dive deeper if you really want to be informed of what you’re looking at. Don’t cry.

OP DD doesn’t have time to get off her backside due to starting too late. If she doesn’t get started sooner, there isn’t any drill to help her. The feet together drill will help only if she starts to float forward prior to the ball being released

I like bat “lag”, not bat “drag”.
I’ll try not to engage with you in the future. I don’t like your know-it-all and pissy attitude.

To OP:
Excellent video to address your question. She has some other hitting drill videos that you may find useful also.
