> Making contact where you say you are, I believe is an indication of hitting around the baseball, and having your hands cast away from your body.Your hands are leading the swing. It's so important to have the back elbow coming through simultaneously with the upper body, at initiation of the swing, as the shoulders trigger swing launch. If that doesn't happen, the hands get away and, lead the swing, inducing the type of contact you described.

John,

IMO if the shoulders trigger the swing then you will cast your top hand away from your body. IMO if the hands are working right, turning the barrel rearward and then throwing it through the zone, then the rest of the body will take care of itself.
