Hands working down

[fanboi22]

nice observations. I think the hands w this particular player is ‘no drag’ centric. So it’s really pushy and oppo centric. One extreme to another. there is no rotation whatsoever. Her torso get to about 45 degrees relative to her starting point. Should be about 80 degrees or maybe more. Trying to create deceleration by handcuffing the body isn’t what I think as productive. decel should be learned by TurNing things off (sequence) when needed or by maintaining angles and balance when needed.

the Bonds chop drill creates this imo. The torso and hips will have a chance to position and stabilize naturally and decel so the hands can extend when needed. It’s a natural motion. it’s a no teach if the goal is known. Watch Jrs. body sequence naturally.

the reverse top hand is an ok drill for a opposite handed hitter/thrower imo. But not dominant single handers. Whatever works. TEHO

I read another post about the opposite handed dominant hitter / thrower. interesting concept. I am a RHthrower and have done both left and right hitting. And depending on the point in my career (haha, career of slow pitch old man beer softball) either would work well. I have tried to help DD doing everything right handed now, so it will be interesting for me to understand this when i show on the left hand side (easier to show a RHH when you can mirror then left handed.)

She's REALLY struggling to change. This is where we got today. Her quote " You can tell I'm being held against my will".

Looks like a dead end to me. Her hands/bat aren’t moving as the elbow lowers. To much arm action. You can see the hands trying to work late around contact.

Call me real simplictic, but before changing a bunch of things, give her a goal of not trying elevate the ball, but to try and hit the ball on the ground and see how she adjust. Hence get on top of the ball.

I just wanted to know what she's being instructed to do, what's the goal?

Completely agree, that swing looks so completely different than the original, I feel she's being asked to do too much at once

Honestly, the only thing she’s trying to adjust is getting her right hip through and not let her hands go down by her belly button on a belt high pitch. She’s now completely disconnected and pushy with her hands.
