I've been trying to get some cues to help my 11yo release the hands, his finish has hands tight to the body long after contact. Middle middle tee placement, looking for some ideas to help. I thought this was a fitting thread to drop in and ask..

If he is gripping the bat tightly with bottom hand at launch, this may tighten the muscles up the arm and into the shoulder, causing the shoulder to spin out.

Yeah, I've known he's spinning, but good observational point... maybe emphasizing that separation in order to get some linear bat path instead of all rotation will open up the finish... Hmm

Bingo!! Start w a rock solid back leg so he has something to stretch from so to speak.

? There’s always a shift. No way around it. To get forward you gotta go back. It’s the way we move.

He’s spinning. No separation. Hips forward against hands back

Yep !! After separation learn how to contract the middle against the hips.

Notice how there is no intent to rotate the hips.

Meant no shift forward

The launch and load-launch again quickly is prolly draining The other drill is used for speed in the golf swing.

Looks rotational with the upperbody/swing.

Back elbow definitely locks into the body as he hooks the hand path.

The back elbow, back arm, hands don’t have a clear path because of the rotational flat swing path. To much shoulder rotation,

How he swings, uses the body isn’t to bad. Just need to work on the rotational level shoulders.

Needs to do this 1000 times,



Work oppo with clearance, no hook in the hand path and pinning the back elbow to the side. The back elbow needs to get through.

Can you elaborate on this..... also grip is too tight
