AFTER WATCHING MY SONS SWING IN SLOW MOTION I'VE NOTICED THAT AS HIS STRIDE IS ALMOST FINISHED THAT HIS HANDS ARE COMING FORWARD A LITTLE AND THAT THE BARRELL OF HIS BAT IS POINTING BACK TOWARD THE CATCHER INSTEAD OF TOWARD THE PITCHER, I KNOW THIS IS KILLING HIS POWER AND HIS BAT SPEED, PLEASE JACK OR ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET HIM TO STOP THIS, HE DIDNT BELIEVE HE DID IT UNTIL HE SAW IT ON TAPE, HE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HE WAS KEEPING HIS HANDS BACK, HE HOLDS THE BAT IN A VERTICAL POSITION A LITTLE BELOW THE SHOULDER, SHOULD HE MAYBE HOLD THE BAT WITH THE BATHEAD ANGLING A LITTLE FORWARD BEFORE HE STARTS HIS STRIDE, PLEASE JACK OR ANYONE ELSE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE, MAYBE SOME DRILLS TO GET HIM TO STOP THIS.
