Jack and everybody,
> > Here's an idea for a drill that focuses on keeping a short stroke by bringing the back elbow in. Keep a batting glove or towel and take your swings. The towel shouldn't fall out until full extension after contact. What do you think of this? Jack, have you tried this? Is it good for teaching the CHP or is it bad?

> dougdinger, what is the definition of a "short stroke"? I'd say a short stroke is keeping the elbow and hands close to the body until the bats momentum and acceleration pull them away.
The opposite of a casting out all arms swing.
