Summary: Video Transcript

1. Stride, rotate, maintain the balance, avoid collapsing on your front leg; lock it up at contact.
2. Collapsing on the front leg/lunging moves your head, disrupting vision, reduces power; triggering the “roll over,” and “pop-up.”
3. Proper rotation, frees the upper body to extend, hitting the challenging pitch locations for power.
4. Track the ball, and stay in your legs, keeping the head in your center of gravity, extending your arms to the ball.
5. Releasing the top-hand, feeling pressure on your rear shoulder, accommodating the extra-reach.
