My 13 year old son has been getting weekly private lessons at Grand Slam in this hitting technique. He has now has 3 lessons and practiced his swing every day. He is frustrated as he used to be a good hitter. In games he seems to almost always be swinging under the ball. He seems to drop the barrel of the bat more then he used to. It appears to me his swing is more like a golf club swing now. I don't know what to tell him. Any suggestions?

Bring your video camera along to the next lesson and film. Compare the film to video clips or tape great hitters on ESPN and compare.
The swing happens so fast you will be amzed at what you think you see versus reality.
