Body Popping Up and Uppercut Swing

Posted by: Elegantly Wasted (andy.grant@telus.net) on Tue May 6 22:20:52 2003

I'm in a bit of a rut right now to the point that I'm "just missing" way too many pitches. I've taken a look at my swing on video tape and have noted that from a crouched postion I'm "popping" my body upwards which then leads to an uppercut swing on pitches low in the strike zone. I've tried to stand more vertically in order to eliminate the popping and uppercut but it hasn't seemed to help. Anyone have any trick stances, drills, or anything that might alleviate the popping and uppercut?
