Good hitters drop the back shoulder.
Poor hitters drop the back shoulder.

What is the difference?

Good hitters' drop DRIVES their swing.
Poor hitters' drop then swing.

Good hitters' barrel speed is DURING THE DROP.
Poor hitters' barrel speed is AFTER THE DROP.

Good hitters drive DOWN to the ball....upon which their barrel turns up.
Poor hitters drop then drive UP THROUGH the ball.

9:15 to 10 minutes of this video is golden

I think a mistake a lot of us make is we drop back shoulder and force the front shoulder up.. screws up our posture, causes the front shoulder to fly open.. key is shoulders rotate around your spine and posture determines at what angle that rotation occurs
My sister is struggling with that at the moment. Luckily she’s strong so weak contact still usually produces good enough hits but when she gets into it correctly she’s pushes balls out to 180-200 feet.

This was great. I’ve done some of these drills. Very good for swing path, posture etc

Absolutely love PVC drills for repetition. Also great to give the girls homework with them and see who does the work and who just a says they do it.
