Where to start

Posted by: Joe (jcjtnole@gmail.com) on Mon Jan 5 11:16:23 2009

I am trying to help my 8 year old get rid of his bat drag and teach him rotational mechanics.

Should I start with the lower body movment first, then to the shoulders. I don't think he can grasp BHT and THT yet. Heck it's confusing to me. :)

Do the hips pull the shoulders around or is there a conscious effort to move the left shoulder back?

Thanks
