Looking for some drills to help young girls maintain proper elbow separation.
Just curious of why you are trying to "Keep the elbows separate"? Is there a specific issue you are trying to correct by doing that?8-9 years old.
What you will get from many of these members is that drills don't work, and only specific work will work. I get it, but it isn't helpful for someone like you just trying to learn. Sure some drills are harmful, but one mans junk is another mans treasure.View attachment 24329
Any drills that you do or know of to help them maintain that posture up until hip slot.
Since we are talking bat drag and using the arms to swing. Place a rubber ball between the arms and the body. I’ll show you tomorrow. Therefor the hands will do the work.
This helps maintain the box and feeds the problem by keeping tension between the elbows/arms.
