Hitting grounders

Have her do the below drill focusing on not loading her hands until she gets into her back leg. Marcela could a better job on the drill so don’t use that as a model (search Bellinger step back to see Cody doing it off front toss). I just posted that to give you an idea of the drill. Also don’t have her stare at the tee like Marcela..I wasn’t paying attention to that ..

The advice on here seemed to work. Getting pretty consistent high line drives from the tee. Thanks.

The hands are dead, she is using the arms. Then tries to use the hands at contact and into the follow through.

To me it is a sequencing thing (or at least part of it is..) like @Work=wins mentioned.

‘Trapped’ or ‘pinned’ is what I would call the hands in this scenario.

Yes a sequence problem, she is trying to use the body while the hands are in limbo waiting. The hands TTB at the same the lowerbody starts. It’s not lowerbody and then hands.

To put it in your lingo () what would happen if somebody TTB without creating any corner (not an exact analogy but work with me)

You would lose coil and stretching.

Here’s a pic of the lowerbody ahead of the hands and both are ready to start.

Would you have any to begin with?

I’m not 100% sure what your asking.

What a sec, are asking what goes first? The lowerbody is ready to fire at the same time the hands start.

I am talking about the sequence of movement before launch..
