I'm having trouble developing a good launch position. Naturally, my handsgo back slightly to just in front of my shoulder, but my front arm is too bent and I can't get a good CHP since my front arm stays bent during the swing, and it causes them to go linear in order to get to a good contact position. If my have my hands behind the shoulders and back, my front arm is barred almost, and my back shoulder gets 'locked' and the hands stay too far back, and the swing is too long. Inbetween where my hands are not quite in front nor quite behind the shoulder, i'm able to get the best CHP and batspeed, but my top-hand thumb can't quite reach the shoulder, nor does it feel natural. Where should my hands be?
