Opinions please

I think we could use a bit more to work with than just 1 at bat.

I'd begin with the location of the hands and the angle of the arms as the point when the front foot lands.

I'd say his hands are too far rearward, and the rear (upper)arm is too low.

My $.02

My pitching is terrible that is why I posted his game hit. Here is something shot today with my weak pitching.

If you can take criticism, want the best for your son, are willing to work hard, swing a bat yourself to help you better learn and teach the concepts to and for your son, go to hittingillustrated.com and learn as much as you can. He still has plenty of time to improve and yes, he needs lots of improvement.

1. Shoulders are "upside down" at start. Front should be down, not up. As the shoulders rotate, the front will be up.

2. No stride, weight shift, or coil.

3. Rear elbow should be up at weight shift. Then drive it down where you begin.

Fix these things then post again.

Sultan thanks for the info. At least now I have a starting point to work from.
