I coach high school softball and videotape my hitters regularly. One problem that a few of my girls have is not attaining extension after contact. Upon rotation, they get BOTH of their elbows connected, their "box" collapses, and after contact they really pull the bat in close to their body (like they're yanking the bat backward). I'll add a picture of this for clarification later if I'm not being clear enough.
My question is this: are there any drills that any of you have found successful in breaking girls of this habit? What extension drills do you use? I've tried Candrea's three tees in a row, and that helps a little, but I'm looking for something else. I'd greatly appreciate it!
