A few months ago, posted a video of my kid on her for some pointers. I received very helpful feed back. We have been working on one item every month. I hate to say it but to me all swings look the same, be it a major league player or a little league player.

I let him read the post and he figures it out from there.

With that said, where are we now?

He's all arms. The lower body is turning only because it has to. He needs to develop a driver and "swing loaded" rather than "unload to swing".

Thanks,
How would this best be accomplished? I know he is a strong kid, but I have always said he is is not using all his power.

Well, the answer is kind of long. But here's a good summary. He needs to become one-legged (feeling of all weight being on back leg at launch) and he needs to develop a hand pivot point. Being one legged comes from a hip coil "around" the socket. Or a feeling of one, rather.

...kind of looks like he's holding the bat in his palms a little too much.
