Bent Elbow at point of contact

Posted by: Softball_Dad (n/a) on Wed Jul 12 08:23:06 2006

Jack,

The video shows that at the point of contact (for a right handed batter) the right arm show be bent (in the shape of an L). My daughters softball coach consistently tells her that this is wrong and that she will not get any power unless her arms are fully extended at the point of contact. Do you have any links to pictures of major league batters show their right arm bent at the point of contact???

Thanks
