Softball Swing vs. Baseball Swing - 2

[RayR]

The golf type swing I'm thinking of isn't about the back stroke (there is no back stroke). It's more about the finish. The hitter finishes with their back foot much closer to the front foot and there is little to no weight on the back foot when they finish their swing. A lot like how a golfer finishes.

Also prior to the swing the hands are held above the shoulders and both elbows are angled down. The swing looks to me like a hands to the ball type swing.

All the girls who use this type swing almost always hit grounders or low liners (that barely make it out of the infield) to the opposite field. They're almost always an easy out. Several people in my area teach this swing and I'm not sure why.

It is easy to make the finish look pretty and think they on the right track. If the back foot is coming that far forward I would guess the base is pretty narrow to begin with the the upper body is pulling the back leg forward after contact.

Which means the upper body is leading the lower body.

Well-
I think you are describing the disconnected arm swing.
What I was describing was a swing that stays connected until contact but is long.

Yes, I think this decribes it best.

Also, I can't detect any seperation of the upper and lower body.
