At a practice last night, I heard a coach instructing some hitting cues that I disagree with, but thought I would double check.
One player asked if the negative move/load happens simultaneously with the step and coach said no, shift your weight back then step forward and swing.
I have always taught the load and step to be simultaneous, so I looked at some of the model swings on this site and it looks to me like the negative move and the step happen at the same time.
or is this not an absolute and subject to personal preference?
I couldn't hear everything she was saying but DD said that she was also advocating wrist roll into contact and full extension at contact. She played DI softball in college, so her resume is better than mine but then again, I don't agree with what Mark McGuire teaches either
