Power, the kid in the video is loading his weight back, then, shifting his weight forward....It's all going together, top half and bottom half...It's going back together, then forward together...This is dead hands hitting....quote:He doesn't get separation either. His hands are activitated too soon, he needs to let the hands go for the ride and let the hips lead the way. My 2 cents.
This is a good two cents worth....Patrick W. is correct, IMO....The way to correct this is to learn how to sequence better....His body is not synching because the bottom half doesn't get ahead of the top half....This is preventing a late load of the hands which is what he needs....
A little help with the sequencing.... How much further ahead should the lower half be then the top half. I have seen some kids take a step before pitcher even release the ball and it seems like they have no momentum. (assuming you are not recommending that) Is the problem that his hands are already set from the start of the swing and maybe if he had is hands unloaded he could step and as he steps brings hands back and then start swing after hands get loaded or does he just need to start his step earlier and keeps hands back???
