4genball,I agree it all starts down low.When my son starts hitting ground balls in bp,I have to remind him to hit with his hips and legs instead of with his hands.It almost always results in hard line shots in the air to the outfield.My son is one of those that will make an immediate adjustment on cue when asked,his hitting instructor told me he has never seen a young 8-9 year old do that theway he does.

I do agree that the lead elbow being up is crucial but it does seem to naturally happen when the hips,legs and core are being used to drive the ball.

BUT,hands are important too.
