Guys..just how much do you think an 8 and 6 year old can understand about swing mechanics. Both of my sons play on travel ball/all-star teams and go to a hitting coach once a week, but usually stare with glossed over eyes when either i or their instructor tries to explain hip rotation, etc..it seems to boil down to step, squish, and swing is what they are able to comprehend best at the moment. Do you consider their ages to be too young to be putting this much information into their heads? Should the philosophy be more of the "see the ball, hit the ball" mentality?. The lessons have made a difference in both of their mechanics, however, how much of that is just a natural development from playing so many games is the real issue here. Too young? or keep with the hitting instructor, what do you guys think?..thanks for the input...Mark...
