Drills to become backside dominant

[clemenslee1]

True..in any case Latta explains a bit about what is being activated/felt in those drills so OP can figure out for himself if that is what he is after

Agreed!

Notice the hips are not level (green).

This is because she is trying to undercut the ball too much because the tee is too far back (yellow). The tee should be at the ball of the front foot (after the stride ends)(the tee should be at the right end of the yellow, not the left)

As I've said before, she strides with the front leg. Proof is front leg is straight (red), and her head has not progressed forward of her back foot. This drill may be causing some of this.

Stop this drill with this tee placement.

Dads, do not do drills where the tee is this far back.

Not all hips are level. Just like this hitter doesn’t have the same posture I like and her hips aren’t level.

To quote Rod Steward, " Every Picture tells a story...don't it!" My Favorite is Guerrero (Cabrera too). Not over stretched, balanced, calm and looking like he could hit anything. Looking like they are ready to employ controlled violence.

Yes at the launch position the hips are level. The pic I showed wasn’t at launch.

Here is a picture of Haley at the launch position.

Odd, a bunch of HOF'ers, some close calls...and Kevin Kouzmanoff who had about a 2 year MLB career?

And Kevin would have the most hip tilt.

Notice where the rear knee is in relation to the back foot. This indicates forward momentum during the stride. This is timing. None are stuck on the backside. Teach the front foot to be up on time while maintaining posture.
