This is my 9yr old son and my 11 yr old daughter. DD is a natural RH, has been slapping from the left side for a year. Trying to smooth out her full swing from the left side. My son is natural RH hitter. Has been hitting from both sides for about a year. Please let me know what we need to change, keep doing etc.

Recommend that you read the "Sequence" thread over at BBD ... Sequence Thread at BBD |.

Thanks! That site is blocked here at work, but I will look at it later.

Hey Coletrain,
I'm sure you've seen enough of the "Rock the U" examples to understand that. Fives advice above is good, but our friends there have been "all in" for a long time, so there's a learning curve...

Here's something to think about. There is a bottom half running start, meaning the hips before the hands. The easiest way to make sure that happens, is to "Rock the U" late and slow. Don't rush it. Allow the bottom half to move normally. "Rock the U" slow and focus on reading the pitch. Mentally connect your eyes and that bottom hand as you read the pitch and rock the U.

If that rear leg breaks in/down, while you're getting that last bit of Rock completed, what do you think is going to happen to the upper half?

Both kids look very talented and should be able to pick the stuff up mentioned above quickly IMO.

Howe,

I'm just trying to test some of my understanding. If the rear leg breaks down/in before the rock is complete then the hands get out of sequence with the hips and start leading instead of lagging the hips and bleeds the coil. Let me know if I understand this correctly.

If the rear knee breaks "in and down" (not down/in), while the hands are still going up and the coil is held, what happens to the rear hip? Do the muscles in the back tighten like a twisting rubber band? A sequence is NOT everything going at the same time... There's an order.

Twisting candy cane?

Epstein used to use the rubber band analogy. Some don't like his work because he's more hemispheric (hips(pelvis) vs. shoulders). That's a discussion for another day.

The upper half will first get tighter and then the hands will be pulled forward?
