I was looking at some pro swing clips today.I noticed that most of the pro's take a small step tward the plate with there rear foot after the swing.My point is that maby what my son is doing is not a bad thing.Any input out there??

Well, I have a question. Does he take that step hitting off a tee? I think that he should not be taking any step after contact. Should have a ballance finish. If he is not 50/50 in his weight or more weight on his front foot you could get a step on his back foot.
