Stride..whats in a name

we sometimes use " walk away from your hands with the front foot" i don't think it really matters what cue you use, as long as the player UNDERSTANDS what you are talking about. my dad still uses old school terminology, but has the right ideas. as long as the players have a good understanding, you are okay. i also try to use several cues with each batter. what CLICKS in with one player, makes no sense to another. understanding and the end result is what you are after. who really cares how you get there as long as you do.

Good point about different player need different cues.

Often times a young player needs to be "shown" what he is doing or not doing for the words to sink it

To me this is why teaching hitting is a one on one thing so the student can be "shown"
