swing, drops shoulders

Posted by: Keith (kfclay@aol.com) on Wed Apr 13 20:29:19 2005

My 12 year old when he swings drops his back shoulder, and his hands are to close to his body, he does not seem to extend and make solid contact with the ball. Some terms i hear is " he needs to throw the bat" As a result his hits are weak and lacking power. also he does not seem to transfer energy into contact.
ANY COMMENTS, CORRECTIONS DRILLS ETC would be greatly appreciated As I am not sure where to start.
