bat wrap/elbow height

Posted by: Scot (sataylor54@yahoo.com) on Wed Mar 8 16:36:07 2006

My son has his top hand elbow higher than his back shoulder prior to loading and striding. I think this is the cause of him wrapping the bat, therefore slowing down his swing. To keep the bat more perpendicular in this stance seems to put the hands in an awkward position to me. It also seems like it would slow down getting his elbow into a tucked position as his swing starts forward. Is this accurate?
