Their is a point where it looks like the body pauses. The balance between the pullback and the front leg going forward and down.
That is just reversal of direction

Ever try to connect the dots of why folks who do the walk up/step behind drill have no problem getting fyb ?
part of leaning to coil is controlling the weight and stride of the front leg, they depend on each other.

A proper coil involves the stride and the pullback.


Ever try to connect the dots of why folks who do the walk up/step behind drill have no problem getting fyb ? Hint don't focus on the coil but let it happen naturally. Study the dynamic planes of motion involved.

Mike, if you have been following AJ's changes as well as why Kingery struggles you would realize this movement is one of the reasons.. AJ adjusted his movement to hit pitches up in the zone while Kingery kept dumping below the plane of the pitch.

Your student here has made the transition as well. Like Bonds has been saying anyone can hit the low pitch.

A coach should put the progress and development of the athlete ahead of his/ hers beliefs. I feel comfortable saying, I teach HLP principals because I’ll use any drills or patterns to gage the progress of the player. Kayden is comfortable with this posture for now. It will probably evolve as she seeks more power.

Right now we are working on making great contact and timing. A side note the young lady pitching live was my student from 8yrs old through high school.
