GETTING WEIGHT BACK

Posted by: t olson () on Mon Jul 9 19:51:56 2001

IMO

When you stride, you need to feel like your front foot/leg is stepping out slightly ahead of the top half. Leading with the bottom half as in pitching. Should feel at landing like you have come to a balanced-athletic position.

But I agree, weight should not be left on the back side and many kids when instructed constantly to keep their weight back will end up "leaning back" making it difficult to handle low pitches and promoting a very upward path.
