I like so much of what you do but I still say don't tilt then turn, tilt on the turn to height of pitch. you can't tilt first and lean back or you get exposed to velo in the top of the zone. also, your rotation speed will suffer if hips are not level at start of rotation, velo is not a problem for 10 to 12 year olds but good mechanics developed early helps you surpass all those rear leg tilters when the ball starts getting 85mph plus and no longer drops into that upward path. the front side helps get on plane and is like a site to the ball. but love the good connection and not releasing swing till you are in direction to the ball
i agree with you. i also dont like how they blame a grounder or a pop up on pushing the bat or moving forward. if you slow the kids swing down he did everything these two are asking for. also major leagers don't tilt that much. look at mike trout. as his heel comes down he shifts his weight, gets into a 50-50 position and does not move forward but doesn't lean back.
