drills for 10 yr. old

Posted by: John (parke@gtw.net) on Tue Apr 12 12:36:44 2005

My son has good hand-eye coordination, but is weak for his age. In observing his swing, it seems to have too much arm swing. It looks to me like his first move is to drop his bat flat and then swing his arms around his body.

I'm trying to get him to use his hips' rotation to initiate swing.

Any thoughts on this ?
Any drills to help or does he just need to develop upper body strength ?
