I understand that is the overall movement pattern but what do you believe is the cause for them to go all forward?
I find that hitters who are in this pattern shorten/compress their front side during the leg kick or sometime during the stride and never really let it go or lengthen it out. Have you ever seen a hitter with upside down shoulders suffer from this pattern? When the rear shoulder is higher than the front shoulder during the move out. I believe this is what you write about often. That the lead side oblique never gets released? Do you know what effects this has on the lead leg/hip?

One of the biggest causes of this pattern is focusing on keeping the weight back while attempting to move forward.. One never becomes leveraged since the weight is kept back and not released.. Its an easy feel to hang onto and can provide some power but it lacks a timing mechanism..
If one moves the feel sensor up to the core and allows the legs to be supporters timing issues go away, pulling off pitches goes away, and the rear leg/hip relationship is allowed to happen naturally.
One needs to release the up front stretch during the fyb part of the sequence.. This is what allows hitters to become leveraged into both legs while dynamically balanced.
Good example of not releasing into a leveraged position.. Instead he's trying to keep the weight back while striding forward and allowing the pitcher to control the ab.
