So how do you rid kids of looping swings? We have several kids who push their hands back beyond the outside of their back foot, as well as drop the barrel of the bat towards the catcher (10:00-11:00 on a clock face), during their strides.

I'm thinking that having them rest the bat against the outside of their shoulder - ala Epstein - might help them learn that they can be quicker to the ball by not pushing their hands so far from their bodies.

Comments? Other ideas?

Thanks,
