Re: What is Scapula loading?

What is scapula loading and more importantly, how do you teach a player to do it? Can somebody explain?

Is it pinching the shoulder blades together? How does that help in hitting? I have watched video (and of course I do not know what to look for) but I surely cannot see "scapula loading". And if I did, I wonder where that would rank in order of important things a hitter needs to be worried about - oh, I need to pinch my shoulder blades together. In Jack's video, where do you see this scapula loading that you keep talking about?

Any guidance?
