Those who are pretty familiar with "my stuff" know of my thoughts as regards how I think focusing on the lead arm/torso linkage is a potentially KEY method in overcoming many typical flaws, e.g., bat drag, back arm pushing tendencies, poor rotation, poor swing plane.
Here's a golfer swinging with just the lead arm:
He hits the ball about 300 yards. Note the alignment of the lead arm at the peak of the takeaway, initiation of the downswing, and at lag. It is tight along the shoulder line and perpendicular to the spine.

This kind of geometry [alignment] is VERY similar to MLB hitters! Why is this good?
Well ,I will simply say one way to better understand this is to invest in time and money to buy and work on my Lead Arm Swing videos I made. Found here:

Not to utilize a name dropping appeal to authority too much here, BUT ...Dallas Baptist coach Dan Heefner--a guy who knows my stuff pretty well said a couple of yrs ago:
"Steve, you know it's pretty interesting. If you can execute the lead arm swing like you are showing, it is almost impossible to create a poor swing."
"That" ,I said, "is 100% CORRECT!!"
"That" ,I said, "is 100% CORRECT!!"
I would only add that the "Lead Arm Hero" that I sell is a product of literally thousands of hours of "book learning shit" combined with me physically swinging [as well as getting hitters to work at these swings].
