Unbelievable.......
Bat drag is when the back elbow pulls forward ahead of the hands. Simple as that.

a snipe hunt?? Haha. I think I gave him a clear picture on what needs attention. You’re the one who said she has 5 things wrong with her swing and then didn’t respond to him when he asked how to fix it ! Anyone can say ‘that isn’t right’


It isn’t drag just bc the elbow is in front of the hands. There is more to it than that. She isn’t dragging anything. She’s in front of her power source. The hands are working properly. Just out of sync. Just like when the hands drop down a bit before swinging. Is a player truly dropping their hands? Many pros do this. The barrel is loading in a different manner.. maybe bc of the location or speed of the pitch? She doesn’t drag. She doesn’t load.

RH was correct imo. No slack removal or sequence. Just hands.


Look at this guy. elbow in front of hands. Drag? Nope.

the swing is cause and effect. You must look at things in this manner.

Hunter Pence may not be a good example because of his Scheuermann's disease
