I would like to see what coaches and hitting experts teach when it comes to hitting.
Grip - Do you teach a staggered or aligned knocking knuckes grip? How do you think the knuckles should be aligned at contact?
Stance - Do you teach a neutral, open, or closed stance. How wide do you like to see the stance? How do you think the weight should be distributed in the stance?
Load - Do you teach a load (negative move)?
Stride - How far do you like to see the stride? Does the load or negative move occur at the same time as the stride? Do you even teach a stride? If you teach a stride, do you want the toes to touch the ground first or do you want the entire foot planting into the ground at the same time?
Rotation - When do you believe rotation should start? Do you even teach rotation or do you teach a push swing or gate swing? Do you teach a squish the bug approach?
Contact - How should the shoulders, arms, hands, bat barrel, head, and other parts of the body be positioned at contact?
Finish - Do you stop the swing at contact? Do you teach an immediate wrist roll or full extension? Do you want both hands staying on the bat or is releasing the top hand okay?
Feel free to add anything you consider important in a swing considering I did not post all parts necessary to produce a swing. Answer the entire post or just pick and choose a part of the post.
