My son has just started working to make his swing less arms and more body/whip. He's had an issue with front and back arm being too far away from body. Any thoughts/ideas (particularly in getting the lower body more involved) are appreciated.
Also, I'd be interested in any recommendations for a good hitting instructor in the Seattle general area.
Thx.

He needs to coil the rear hip and make the socket tight. From there, pull back with the lower back and pinch the scap. Then, turn the barrel.
Thanks LF. What is the best way to instruct the actual coiling of the hip movement? I'm having trouble on my own end visualizing. Thanks again.

Imagine that your foot is a screw and that your hip is a screwdriver. Turn the hip counter clockwise so you screw the foot into the ground. You'll feel the coil in the hip and the foot.
Thanks again LF. I'm trying to get him to focus on those hips (worked on it last night). Timing-wise, any downside re coiling when he gets in the box, or should he wait until stride/toe touch?
