My 12 year old son has been working with your system for about 6 weeks and I think has made great strides toward a rotational swing. One snag were having is his grip. He had a knuckle to knuckle grip with a low elbow in previous set up. Recently we changed this set up to a higher elbow because he got a better feel for top hand torque. However with the higher elbow the knuckle to knuckle grip might be making him wrap the bat too much around his head. It is very hard to keep the bat from wrapping around using this grip and a higher elbow. Try it for yourself. Should we change his grip to a more choked position. The reason he uses the knuckle to knuckle is because that is what everyone has taught and it became natural for him. We are close to getting a video of his swing together and sending it to you for an analysis, but would like to be clear about the grip and set up first.

There have been several posts about gripping the bat. A simple solution is to take your grip at impact alignment. Use a door jamb,post, tree, or tee. Get your bat in impact position now take your grip. Study pictures online of hitters at impact and simulate their grips.
