Bad Uppercut Problem

Posted by: Bob N. () on Wed Apr 18 11:28:21 2007

My son Sam has too much of an uppercut (between 30 and 50 degrees upward in games). His back shoulder drops while his front shoulder rises, and his bat head falls way out of line with his front arm. I've tried to get him to swing more downward but he has a hard time maintaing good rotational mechanics while swinging downward. Any drills or suggestions?
