I notice in my swing that when I take my stride (which for me is just a raise of my left heel) my hands get to a good load position. But then when the ball is in the air, after my stride, my arms go back even further, almost to the point where my left arm is straight. This would explaing for me being tardy on a lot of pitches and hitting many weak pop-ups. I have tried just putting the bat on my shoulder and taking a stride, and this has helped, but I am still slightly barring my arm. Are there any drills I can do to break this habit. Thanks
