Pulling head off the ball during the swing

Posted by: Dave () on Thu May 11 10:14:59 2006

My son has been using rotational hitting mechanics for about 9 months. Lately, he seems to be pulling his head during his swing, and thus, making poor or no contact. Could this be the result of over emphasizing the rotation of his lead shoulder to the catcher? Or is this simply a point of focus where he needs to concentrate harder on not rotating his head during the swing? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
