Dragging the bat?

Posted by: Captain Kim () on Sat Feb 10 16:36:04 2007

I went to other site and saw this passage:

'Bat drag - back arm externally rotates at the elbow - like you're losing in arm wrestling - and the rear elbow ends up getting ahead of the hands during the early portion of the swing. Causes a long, slow swing - albeit one which often has a lot of power when solid contact does occur.'

What causes bat drag easily? How to avoid it?

Thanks
