'All pros' already have good swings. Almost every kid here needs good advice. 99% of kids have bat drag. Hand positions wont/cant fix bat drag.
There are different types of drag. Kids usually suffer from elbow drag. That is a functional issue.

excellent point!I dont see any before/after pics on their website, so they are not showing us any improvements at all.
I’ll take ‘fake hitting instruction from 2004’ for 400$ Alex.
Saying you need to get to an athletic position to hit from is universal and pretty obvious. But that position is due to the pitch and the hitters balance/timing. Training positions is bad for a hitter, plain and simple. Back elbows vary, knee flexion varies etc. etc. what folks need to train is functionality and sequencing. So the hitter knows what does what and when they do what they do. But if the hands are trained correctly most things fall into place. Hand and bat path will move the body. Hence why all pros work on their hands.
The ONLY thing and really the ONLY THING these have in common is chest positioning. food for thought.

WW, as you know I disagree with this statement.. Once you get a kid in the most athletic leveraged position and they own it, they will understand the sequence required to be a driver of the ball. This worked for me as a hitter and many of the hitters I have worked with.
The launch position is really the only absolute. Chest turned 22.5 is just one thing about the launch position. I think I could name quite a few. Back arm/forearm position, weight still back, hands in line with the front shoulder and over the back foot, etc.
We can discuss the launch position alone all day. The pause without the pause, transition between bow/corner, coil/uncoil point or start of cornering. A change of direction point.
Like I said it can be discussed all day.
