Re: upercutting

My son, age 12 is playing advanced travel bb. His problem is that in spite of working very hard on all of our hitting drills ie. tee work, fence work etc., when he sees live arm he reverts to an upercut swing. He only weighs 85 lbs. and I wonder if the intimidation factor of hitting against bigger, more mature kids might be breaking him down ? Thanks.

What makes you think he is uppercutting?
