Go down to the discussion of 'heel to the sky' and read about getting the heel up and not the weight back to generate the greatest bathead speed. Jack suggests that thinking about pulling your lead shoulder toward the catcher has your hands begin forward may help.

Hi,

Adjust your trigger, inward turn. A slight cocking and uncocking will keep the weight back and swinging at that correct time.

Usually not staying back is a timing issue above all else.
