There are three phases to the swing: the load phase, the stride phase, and the swing phase. If one phase has an issue, there will be compensations down the chain. Not all compensations are negative (good movers are good problem solvers), BUT if those compensations are leading to ball flight issues, it's important to address them. When evaluating a hitter, find which compensations are causing which ball flight issues. Instead of attacking the compensation itself, work back through the phases to diagnose the root cause. If you don't load right, there will be compensations in the stride and swing phases.

🧵Swing Design Highlights w/ @ChaceBlackmon3 Chaces barrel doesn't enter the hitting zone until out front, due to a lack of separation and poor sequencing stemming from a lack of coil in the load phase. This causes him to have low ball flight pull side and an out-front POC - Here's his last round of the day ✅ Improved ball flight to the pull side ✅Deeper POC

Tired of clipping balls straight up or rolling over to your pullside? With our Skelly viewer we can look at what your path is doing that is causing certain ball flights. Get tested in our lab, and we can figure out why those misses are happening.
