> >>> Jack,
> I have a kid who can really swing it and is a prospect. This weekend he said to me he got some good pitches to hit was on time and just fouled them straight back. He wasn't late he was on time with pitches but just missing them this weekend. Also, some of his balls were hit well but just missed going straight up but on time. What are some mechanically insufficient things he might be doing at the plate that could cause that and what should he do to correct that? <<<

Although THT is key to maximizing a batter’s bat speed, I would caution you that if not applied correctly, it will also lead to flaws in the swing plane (as I pointed out in the A-Rod clip below).

Jack,
That is exactly the reason when I did a frame by frame analysis. He looked liked arod did on the reverse wrist roll. What can he do to correct that?
