Here are some of the things I notice when watching video of my swing:
- Poor arm extension
- Arms/snap lagging behind the rotation of my upper body
- Back foot pivots before each swing
Since taking this video in April I've corrected #3, but I think #1 and #2 might be directly tied to each other.
It seems like my upper body is rotating but my arms seem to lag. This is causing my right arm to be fully extended but my left arm doesn't push the snap all of the way through. This causes a few problems:
- Lack of power because I've only begun the snap of my wrists at contact (when I radar my swing my exit velocities peak in the high 80s). I'm 33, 6', and 205lb's...I should be crushing this thing.
- I end up getting ahead of the ball and hitting the end cap a lot
- Any delay or hesitation with timing during a game and it's a very awkward and pathetic swing
- Lack of consistency. Some weeks i'll hit a few HRs in a single game and feel unstoppable while the next week I couldn't hit a ball hard to save my life
Any drills that can help correct this? Don't hold back on feedback!
