Mann-
Do you teach the lead arm streach (walking away from the hands) that cabrera does? Im asking cause the hitting coach my DD sees doesnt.
Yes. as long as it does not bar any more than Cabreras. I also have one of my 4 (spot)hitters using tip and rip. (which is more hands and helps with a steeper barrel angle) How can you not? its part of the whip. To me its object in motion theory. If you look at the barrel path i drew, and can see it in other swings, the barrel has a running start and rides the whip. Front side scrunch(shoulder down and in) and pulling back(scap pinch) and hands, are creating this beautiful bat path.
