Hey Shawn, I wasn't going to say anything because I like your experiment and you seemed to be doing well but the fact that you were swinging full speed 'through' the bag always alarmed me. I figured it was helping you get a feel that was useful. I wouldn't have a young kid do that on a bag, I like the bag but only for stop swings (without a bag it's really hard to actually do a stop swing, for instance, on a ball off a tee). Sorry to hear but not surprised you are feeling some aftereffect from slamming the bag.
re: your last swing, I agree with Eric F about cheating your pullback and that results in pushing your hands. I've liked other swings you've done better.
Still coming out of your posture.. I believe you are not really getting into your back hip, giving up your back foot too early and your front foot seems to skip back(watch your heel).. this making you stand taller during your swing. My DD had the same issue and we struggled with it through out her career. It occurred because of bad coaching on my part. We didn't correct it until I told her to anchor(screw it into the ground, tension on the back hip) the back foot and never let it go. It will still release. Since you are modeling a no stride swing, have a look at Wright and see the difference, also look at his midsection during the positive move, how it straightens the back leg (FYB)
I think it’s your back foot mostly, but I could be wrong. What do you mean “you swing to high”If I don’t focus on the blue diagonal tape line, I swing to high and that doesn’t help with staying low into my posture. If I don’t remind myself to stay down, I stand up. I didn’t remind myself to do neither in this swing.
Your contact point is so far out in front, you don't have a choice but to push forward to get to it.
