I heard it years ago at the National Sports Clinics. It was also called "palm forward" at contact. I think it was popular when the general belief was fastpitch softball hitters couldn't hit fastpitch softball pitchers, so you were just trying to put the ball in play.
I'm amazed anyone still teaches it. But I'm often amazed at what people teach. In any case ms244, you might want to suggest your hitting coach get some hitting instructional materials that are not on VHS tape. Or find another hitting coach.
