My son has developed a nice rotational swing, but I'm noticing a bit too much of an uppercut in his swing, and its a bit loopy. His hands seem to be going a bit low, and his back shoulder is dropping fairly far. He tends to hit the bottom of the ball too often, and looks like a few pop flies are in his future if we don't make some changes. Any advice on what the problem might be and how to work it out of his swing?

I had the same problem with my son's swing, I think he may have been bent forward at the waist to far. I straighten him up in his stance and had him start his swing with the bat resting on his rear shoulder. Seemed to have worked for him. He's now back to his normal launch point with no loop. I'm new at the rotational mechanics, hopefully this helps.
