I purchased the video last year and after much work, we were able to change from "emanski" mechanics to yours. (My son is a small 12 yr old) We have a problem with power now. There just isn't any. I taped him and found that his hips were at 90 degrees well before contact. there just seemd to be no power left in his bat. I changed him to open up later and try about 45-60 degrees at contact and a lot more power was produced(at least twice the power). so I need some help understanding this. On the video, it shows the kids completely open at 90 degrees on contact with the heavy bag. Could it be that his hip turn is just way too quick?(he is a pitcher and has developed a really fast hip turn for his pitch velocity) Everything else on his mechanics looks great...any help very much appreciated
