> > I have a 15 year old son who is trying to rebuild elements of his swing using rotational mechanics as described int he Final Arc DVD. He is a practice workaholic (not complaining) using a lot of tee work to polish mechanics. In the DVD, the recommned using a bag or tire to hit against vs a tee at first. How long do you recommned a player use those tools until they resume tee or soft toss or machine/live pitch work?

> 2 points,you can set up the bag at home where it may be impractical to do tee or soft toss,and no one needed to pitch,it can also be beneficial for over under training and letting the bag absorb all the energy as you do many swings in a training session,it also gives a player/coach a snapshot of the body position at contact


Thanks for the thoughts. However, at some point the player needs to practice those mechanics against a moving ball. My question was how long should we use a stationary target like a bag to groove the mechanics before including tee or soft toss or pitching machine etc?
