I was wondering.....as I am overhauling my swing, I am finding that when I take my stride and turn inward my hands are going back and UP! They are ending up around ear level and sometimes higher. Any suggestions on how to keep the hands down? It isn't consistent at this point, as I can tell in BP when I am hitting the towering pop ups I have elevated my hands too high as it is giving me a massive uppercut. But when they stay down, I am really driving the ball well and have seen a tremendous improvement in the way the ball rockets off the bat! (Thanks Jack and John for the lessons!!!).

So, is there a drill that I can practice to keep the hands from elevating and is it okay to start from the inward turn and go from there or am I going to lose too much by eliminating the stride?

Thanks!
