Kyle’s Swing, December 07

I gotta be honest, I don’t really hate this swing (despite not-great contact)! I was practicing Dr. Yeager’s walk-up drills to help translate linear momentum into rotational momentum, and I learned a lot in doing so.

What I don’t like are my hands being lazy, trying to wrap around the ball, and poor uncocking of the wrists at the point of contact.

After looking at a bunch of video, I think I realized a big problem of mine is “drifting” forward after lead footplant. To stop that, I need to push against the ground more. That should stop the drifting, the poor contact, and should increase power. We’ll see tomorrow - hopefully more video to follow!
