stop hitter jumping up

Posted by: Matt (delyanks@yahoo.com) on Wed Aug 26 18:43:44 2009

My friend has a problem of jumping up or what I call jumping out of his boots during his swing. Instead of squishing the bug and the right knee finishing near 90 degrees (right handed), he jumps up and extends the knees or pushes up. This causes him to hit on top of the ball and hit the ball straight in the ground. I've tried to tell him some things to fix this but they aren't helping him. Does anyone have any drills or a fix to correct this?
