Here is a video of my sons swing going into his freshman year of HS. I have received a lot of good advice here and have tried to implement some things. Looking for some additional feedback to try and further improve his swing. Thanks

Pulling a little too much with the lead shoulder/arm instead of the rear hip (hands getting a bit ahead of his rear leg driver), but all-in-all, I'd say it's a pretty decent swing, that would definitely get him a roster spot on 90% of all HS freshman teams, and even some JV teams depending school size.In memory of "Catchingcoach" - Dave Weaver: February 28, 1955 - June 17, 2011

Originally posted by raptor View PostSaw that in my sons swing today when we took vid..seems the front leg is too strong and he breaks down and "bounces back" if that makes sense too early as his center of mass isn't through enough. Is this due to not enough hip load? Or not enough drive from the rear side?

Originally posted by lancers View PostIn standball's case, I think he was trying to use that push back to achieve lean back. Without looking at your son's swing it will be hard to tell what could be the reason. But proper understanding of how to use the rear side to control the swing certainly won't hurt.

Originally posted by Standballdad View PostI know he is not trying to achieve lean back, it is as I stated earlier that his body has no where's to go when he shifts his weight into his left side. Not sure what the fix is for that.
Here's a one leg hitting drill to try.
(Man he was so small back then)
