Correcting the "Squish"

Posted by: rocket () on Mon Feb 2 12:28:02 2004

I need some advice on getting my players to stop "squishing the bug". Their weight is back on their rear foot too much while their hips are rotating. This spin seems to be killing their ability to drive the ball. They must be driving their energy into the ground, instead of up and out through the bat.

Any advice on how to get these players out of this habit?
