Dog-legging the bat (lead elbow problem)

Posted by: Dave (NYTino20@aol.com) on Sun Sep 3 23:27:56 2006

I don't have any video of my swing but I notice that when I do a dry swing I seem to dog-leg the bat. Could it be from not keeping my lead elbow up in the plane of the swing?? How can I work on keeping the lead elbow up?? Are there any drills?? Also, how bad is this?? Does it hinder potential bat speed?? Thank you...
