You meter the action of gravity by coiling/using the midsection/etc

I made an edit to my post

"Edit: It could also be a combination of both . Controlling the move forward with your midsection while gravity does it's job "

You can see it even more with Hank here:

It seems like a lot kids want to control their move out with either their back or front leg. It might be useful to first get them to let gravity move them out (using a ramp perhaps to exaggerate the feeling) and then teach them how to control it properly.

getting into a hinged position is the easiest way that I have found. Having the pelvis underneath with forward bend of the torso while you move out with a solid back leg(trying to not let it move forward) and/or the heel grounded is a great feel. ERing the back foot and holding onto the heel works really well also.

the balance of sagittal and frontal moves with an anchored back leg is key imo.

feet crossed drills are really good for this.

I like my hitters to do a soft contraction across the mid section (obliques) up front and when released they become balanced dynamically fyb.

The lead leg may even become unweighted.

No, this is great stuff!! I'm here to learn and share and I like the input from all.

I feel she could hinge a bit more and find things easier and I have suggested it but she's not ready yet.

Haley, uses the pullback of her upper body against the moving out front leg and lower body, so it’s a controlled and timed fall With the balance point felt in the rear hip. The core is used to help fuse the torso going rearward to be taken over by the leg going forward. Sound to me like your both correct.

We use the core and obliques to lift the front leg and as part of the lateral tilt that takes place.
