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?

Lead elbow has to be up or he'll roll over too early.

Driving the front elbow down and in will lead to as much success as buy high and sell low.
