Wondering how to teach the principles of rotational mechanics to a 6 & 7 year old. We watched the video and I have begun to talk to them more about opening their hips. Is the heavy bag drill alone enough? I am trying to just have fun and not put too much pressure on them, but at the same time I want them to form good habits. Any success stories out their would be appreciated>

I have lots of success with young kids. Use the heavy bag for teaching the basics and learning to get the body/arms/hands in the correct positions. Use the product called "The Hit Away" to learn to hit a moving ball. Mix in some live pitching. Your kids will be way ahead of the curve.
