What are your thoughts on this swing

Looks pretty good for 10! top half should be leaning back a bit more...and the back shoulder is gonna dip a bit so he can get the bat in the hitting zone...pretty nice little swing

My thoughts are people need to post in the proper sections so the site does not get all cluttered up and you will get the right help.

Nice looking kid BTW

Kaos,

Welcome to HSBW. Please post in the hitting section. You should get plenty of feedback there. Good luck.

Sorry ...... I will.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. He is 10 years old

My suggestion is to let him have fun and play the game. He does not need to be "coached up" at this level imho (i.e., worried about how he is reacting to the ball or what his upper or lower body looks like). Develop a love for the game in him and let him figure some things out on his own. This should not be about "work" but how to have "fun."

Welcome to the hsbbweb btw. As some of the other posters have pointed out, our general forum is for high school players (freshman team and up) and above. The best forum for a 10 year old parent asking about 10 year old kid-type issues is the pre-high school forum. Obviously, if you have questions about other levels of the game they are fine. Thanks for your consideration.

kaos,

Welcome to HSBBW.

BOF is a pretty funny guy and probably didn't mean to come off sounding quite as harsh as he did.

I enjoyed the photo, but I don't know enough to tell you what might need work. I would have missed it in the hitting forum. I have to laugh at the size of the number on your son's back. That thing is huge! Good thing it didn't go into double digits.

BOF is taking a short course in public relations from TRhit this week.

However, the nice looking kid comment, while true, might have blown his grade.

Looks great - keep up the good work!

THIS HAS NOW BEEN POSTED IN THE HITTING FORUM.

Wooden dugouts......that's pretty neat.

Hafta' agree with ya' on that one Rock!

The swing looks pretty good to me. To many times parents/coaches of kids this age put to much emphasis on all the things your asking about. The main thing is to let these kids have fun. My advise to you is to tell him to look fastball adjust to the off-speed stuff and just flat out react when he sees a pitch he wants to hit. Period!! And by trhe way lots of soft toss doesnt hurt either. Remember let these kids have fun.
