Richard Todd says:Jul 06, 2008 at 12:41 AM We have a player who has
A - Little or no hip rotation in his swing. B - Scrunches his shoulders up and never really gets full extension on his swing. I feel that a causes b to happen. Because he only has his upper body functioning he's working twice as hard to get the upper body rotating. I'm getting him to work on his hip explosion, which i feel will make it easier to work on getting the upper body hands drive the butt of the bat at the ball and make getting to full extension Our other coach is working on his upper body mechanics first. I know both a and b have to be corrected. But is it not better to correct a then move onto b. Don't want to confuse the kid. What do you think? Jul 11, 2008 at 8:57 AM I would be inclined to work on A first. But I also work with a hitting coach who I'm certain would be more about hands and upper body drive.
Sometimes it comes down to which way a player will learn best - and unfortunately you can't know that until you try. That's not a cop out (well maybe it is) but that's why I want to leave this question posted here - to see what other comments we receive over time. |
