Followed discussions for many months. Purchased Final Arc II a few months ago.

Problem: son is popping everything up. Out of 100 bp swings, he will pop up on 80+. We've taped his bp. Looks as though bat is descending in front of his body and thus descending as bat enters plane of ball.

Elbow: his HS coach told him to "drive front elbow down and in." Is that what is causing him to pop up? I know he is not dropping his head or lowering his body as he swings.

Question: where should front elbow be as his hands begin to circle into plane of ball? More importantly, how do I work with him to keep from popping up?
