And, when I swing a bat, I feel the back elbow dropping during this late hands loading, also...

I agree.

From what I've seen, MLB swings are around shoulder height at foot plant (90 degrees from the ground). The poster was less than 45 degrees. His hands have to begin too soon in a subconscious act to stay ahead of the rear elbow. He needs an earlier mechanism that will allow him to drop rear elbow, but not force the hands to move too soon.

Either start the rear elbow higher (like Ryan Howard or to an extreme, Kevin Youkilis...not really, just pointing out that it is done), or elevate it during the forward stride. I would have him tinker with each to see if one is more effective than the other for him.
