> I do think they showed it all, although I couldn't really see it myself. I'm not sure they were advocating ending on the tippy toe as much as getting on it (which means most of your weight is on the front leg) at some point during the swing. I'm now in the process of doing a brainwash process on my son as he's confused to the point of inertia on his swing.

The natural forces within a quality swing bring the hitters back foot to its tippy toe at contact for a brief moment. The only way to achieve it correctly is to not concentrate on it but to do every thing else correctly.

Trying to achieve the toe position at contact will only cause poor mechanics throughout the rest of the swing.
