It combines a guiderope which has a bunge on one end, dog clip on another. It has a 44 375 style ball with a half inch hole thru the middle. When set up properly, the guide rope helps you swing at a level to slightly up angle, and if you swing under the rope, you will cut thru the ball with a good snap and the ball will fly to the other end. It gives immediate feedback, because if you golf under the ball, or cleave it too radically, it shows a popup or flyout, and just bounces up and down on the rope. Allows you to train and get dozens of swings daily and there is a variety of drills you can do indoors, at the field or in your yard. |

I get the impression that you want your students to swing their bats like a gate or screen door. Maybe I'm not understanding but it appears that the swing being shown in the videos is not a compact swing, but rather a round house. Do you have students stand about 3 feet and parallel from a fence and swing their bats missing the fence. I appreciate and info or example you may provide about how the swing is supposed to be done. Thanks |

This involves arm extension and wrist torque within the rotation. Swing makeover episodes #41, #33 and #19 extenively discuss and talk about drilling this.
