Welllllllllll, we went to batting practice and all I told her was to put the thumb to her shoulder at the start of the swing when she lifted her heel and use the top hand to start the bat head around faster, get a lot of bat speed at the start of the swing. Bingo! the elbow slamed into the power position, palm up/palm down on contact, bat speed was increased. She could not believe the bat speed with no increased effort. Increase in body torque without special emphasis on getting the hip around sooner just gave her the timing she needed. I will continue to read this complicated stuff i guess. Rs
