What are some drills that some of you guys do to improve the hand movement of your hitters. I have some guys who hands do nothing at all.

Just a slight tip of the bathead forward is enough as long as it helps to get the front arm straight without being locked.
power-
front arm straight when (which phase during the swing)?

In the load during separation.
do you see that in all high-level swings? not sure how the straightening of the lower arm helps a batter...
and how do you "straighten" the arm without locking it?

The straightening of the front arm creates stretch between the hands and front foot, which in turn helps to hold the stretch until the opening of the hips and rearward movement of the bathead completes the stretch of the core.
The way you straighten your front arm without locking it, is the same way you do when you do squats without locking the knees. I'll rephrase, replace straighten with extend, if that helps.
Oh, yes, I see that happening in every Major League swing I've seen. Some extend it more than others because of muscle restrictions and pretty much all keep it until "go".
Thanks Bluedog, perfect example of extended, but not locked!
you r either married or not...
you r either pregant or not...
your arm is either straight or bent - can't be both...
one, those front arms are not straight because i see flexion in the elbow joint...
two, every swing the arms are not that straight... for every swing you show me with 160 degree flexion i will show you one with 100 degree flexion....

Not after load you can't! Not a MLB player at least.
Load? When does your "load" happen in the swing? Before launch? After launch? Before contact? After contact?
Hip load?
Scapular load?
Counter rotation?
Abdominal?

Just before launch. I am talking about the hands loading against the hips opening.
i am confused then, because dog is giving me pics at almost the point of contact... the photos dog is using for his defense are not even close to the part of the swing you are discussing
Blue Dog
and you do? PLEASE !!!!!!
