Game swings Chloe

[Mike]

Next step is to see how close we can make her tee swing in to a game swing




Chloe’s game swing before we joined H.I.
July 2017






Now that Chloe has a good tee swing, our next adventure is to turn it in to a good game swing. Ground out to second base

Another at bat. Caught at the fence in right field


I think the stride and going forward with her weight caused her to lose the corner and not go from tight to tighter in her swing.
The second thing I see, is no lateral tilt. She has no scap pinch and pull back resistance. TM said in a post that being afraid of being late causes issues with the swing.. I think this is an example of that statement.

Looking at the tee swing makes me think of hitting in a phone booth I don’t think that in her game swing.

Hi Mike,

I might have missed some info, but here are a couple quick questions:

What age are the athletes there?

Are the red jersey swings very recent?

[Mike]

she is a junior in high school. Yes the red jersey is from this past Saturday. 1-20-18

You are right. As soon as she picked up her lead foot in the game she instantly bled the load out of the rear leg. Must coil AS she moves forward and use her back/scap muscles to control and keep the weight back until launch.

Chloe decided to go with no step. She realizes that the stretch generates her power. Here is her hitting off a whiffle ball machine with no step. I like it but she needs to do a little bit better. Everything looks a little watered down, no building up and then exploding with the swing. We will keep working. Another concern is she rotates her shoulders losing her Ferris wheel bat path. Comments are greatly appreciated.

The reason I'm giving my assessments is to train my critical eye with the swing. I want to be better at recognizing issues. If you see something or I'm missing the big picture please point it out. I'm so excited for the direction my kids are going with this

Your assessment is good

Hi Mike!

I would go back on a Tee with a No Stride and have her slow her coil down. Get her to feel her using her back and pinching the scap. Her back foot must feel pressure like it wants to turn as you coil, and then launch the barrel while tilting.

Thank you hopefully we can work on it.

we started doing this with the j bands hopefully, over time she will get the movement pattern to stick and become a habit. I like a lot of what she is doing here. We need to turn the shoulders towards the 2nd basemen. She has the weight over the rear foot HH noticed was missing. If we do this 5000 time and then some tee swing like H.H. suggested I think that should help .

Hi Mike and HI Family,

I was looking to download more MLB swing clips for my Coaches Eye app and came across this site https://www.dredown.com/instagram
This site allows you to download Instagram and other social media sites video posts. I went nuts going to all of my favorite accounts downloading professional swing clips and drills that I thought would be helpful. I would strongly suggest you all do so if you are looking to grow your MLB swing clip library and HLP drills. My two favorite accounts for drills are Coach Soriano's and GRIT. If you are looking for answers to questions you may have, drills and a further understanding you can download videos posted on your favorite accounts and keep them.

Thanks for the download link. I use Firefox with the download helper add-in, but I'll try this next time.

Also for all of those who use Coaches Eye, you can listen to Coach Richard's swing analysis for a few hitters. Its great to be able to listen to Coach Richard and hear what he is looking for in a swing. Very valuable!

Here is the latest game swing of Chloe’s. Comments are welcome.

TM made the comment that if the inside bat was invented when Brandon was hitting, he would have had him swing it a hundred times before bed. Chloe is going to do 50 per night. Hopefully,it will help with her posture.
