I have 3 DD's 8 and 9(almost 10).
8 yr old hits great despite a few problems.9 yr old allstar has issues.
I am trying to improve my coaching skills so
correct me or add anything I do not understand:
Small amount of rhythm at stance
Negative move with arms while lifting front heal and moving weight to rear.
Toe touch-Positive movement forward with back elbow leading way(this is where I get lost) and bending downward and forward while hands extend arms out to plane of ball.
Rotating hips
After contact following thru all the way without turning wrists over.
I know I do not have it right but since I am trying to improve thier hitting I have to get the basic swing right as most around my area are lost.
The 8 yr old I have found through video initiates the back elbow but it seems to lead past or even with hands which looks like the 2 elbows are facing the pitcher at contact point.
I have been reading alot here but different ideas everyone has seems to get me more confused.LOL.I have the Candria videos and have watched them but even on those he states the elbow initiates the positive move ,but then do the hands pass the elbow or are they even going thru the zone?
