Re-Learning Hip Rotation, Cures Early Season Slump. Swing Makeover #39
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_hhWczk_g0

Many athletes need to put most of the mental focus on hip rotation, in order to get the hips to lead the swing. This creates good tempo, timing, body angle, weight transfer and finally explosion. Hip rotation is explained with a few simple drills to physically learn to let the hips lead the swing. www.sportstechnique.com Softball Hitting Swing Makeover #39

Agrred, big time. Steve Imlay actually used some of this to help me turn my swing around some from an early season slump. Thanks to both of you!It is amazing how a person can get off a little bit sometimes and all of a sudden you can't break out of a paper bag.

Hi Bogie

I hit 40 balls off a tee today. Thought about Nothing/Nada!!! but HIP rotation after watching your latest video. Can't remember hitting the ball harder or further in recent years. I so often forget the importance of this, just arm swing and forget about the lower body. Now, I have to find a way to transfer this to real games.

Bogie, met and worked with Brett this week.
He spotted my issues right away.
Guess what.......hip rotation or lack there of.
We worked on that primarily.
Brett recorded a before and after.
Holy smokes!

If any of you could afford the time and $$, which isn't much, I highly recommend the investment in your self.

Applied what I learned today.
Positive results, not in distance as much as getting the clincher ball he SS instead of at him.
Very positive experience.
