    I am in the 8th grade and on a varsity softball team. I have never played before and I am working on my hitting and just the basics and I can be good. And play my best. And I love the how it explains everything on a more basic level and understanding.

    That doesn’t look like a very good swing. The batter should be in a load position and then the swing should begin with a stride followed immediately by a pivot of the back leg. All the while the hands needs to remain elevated. This girls’s hands drop and she basically has no pivot. The video does make a very good point that the grip of the bat is the fundamental starting point. Also good is the emphasis on squaring up to the plate, however it should be emphasized that the feet need to be parallel and the stance neither open or closed.

    Loved how simple this video is. It's great! Although I do believe that her knocking knuckles should be lined up while griping the bat.

    nice, I like that you keep it simple. One thing I did notice is that she maybe twists her grip some after initial set, (her proximal inter-phalangeal joints (middle joints of the fingers) are not aligned as they should be once she gets the bat up and off her shoulder. This is important to allow proper roll over.. The absence of this can cause a "bump" in an otherwise smooth swing making hitting less powerful and more difficult.. (so now Ive complicated things?? TO SELF: "Keep it simple Stupid"...

    Door knocking knuckles! And not all of your weight is evenly distributed. “Load up”!

    Door knocking knuckles lined up is important. It insures that the palms are facing each other.

    Keep the hands close to the body... think of your strength toting a heavy object. You are a lot more capable of carrying that weight close to your chest, not out and away. Hands thru the zone, top to bottom, watch the ball from the pitchers hip, you’ll see it meet the bat. I tell my girls that the longer they see the ball, the slower it comes...
