front elbow bending during swing

Posted by: pikes1000 (pikes1000@aol.com) on Fri Apr 23 08:31:29 2010

My son likes to bent his front elbow during rotation of his swing. Instead of keeping his elbow bent at the same amount during rotation with his front elbow pressed to his chest his elbow with bend and aim toward the ball like he is elbowing the pitcher. Like he is chickenwinging his elbow foward instead of rotating around. Is there any drills or things to do to help keep his elbow bent the same during rotation or to keep his elbow near his chest while rotating?
