Other than starting late this is the one big flaw in my son’s swing. It is especially on low pitches - he drops his arms and basically arm bars his front arm to get to low pitches. It is understandable but I think it is the result of a timing and sequencing issue: he waits too long to initiate a swing because he makes no move until he is sure it is a strike so he is late in launching. Because of that, when he sees a low pitch he thinks is a strike, instead of firing hips, tilting shoulders and turning to contact he cheats by dropping his hands towards the ball.
Awesome hitting drills. You always release great content
Yup this will do!

Much appreciated
On the last drill does the back knee need to be elevated?
