Overall Summary
Areas For Improvement
Improvement 1: Front side stability. The front foot lands open and the front leg is soft, causing a premature opening of the hips and a loss of power.
Improvement 2: Develop a more dynamic load to create greater separation ('stretch'), which will increase stored energy and bat speed.

Recommended Drills
1
Walk-Through Drill
Focus
Front Side Control & TimingExecution
Start a few feet behind the tee. Take a crossover step with the back foot, then a controlled stride forward with the front foot and swing. This drill helps sync the lower and upper body while preventing the front side from flying open too early.
2
Step-Back Drill
Focus
Dynamic Load & SeparationExecution
From your normal stance, take a small step backward with your rear foot during your load. Then stride forward to swing. This exaggerates the feeling of loading into your back hip and creating a powerful stretch against the front side.
3
Front Leg Firm-Up Drill
Focus
Front Leg Stability & Energy TransferExecution
Place a foam roller or soccer ball between your knees. As you swing, focus on bracing your front leg at foot strike and rotating against it without letting the roller fall. This teaches the feel of transferring energy through a firm front side.
