Keep up the great Tips! WOW this was great. I always though staying back referred to keeping the hands back as not to jump out in front of a change up or a slower pitch. I'm guilty... I'll change my definition of staying back now and Instruct accordingly
Staying back does not mean that the weight does not come forward..."Staying back" is keeping the upper torso behind the front foot rather than in front of the front foot or "lunging". Your weight does have to transfer to generate power throughout the swing.
As far as big leaguers... when their swings are analyzed in slow motion you will notice that they do swing down into the hitting zone and extend through the hitting zone with a high finish.
I completely agree with your statement regarding the weight transfer from the back to the front leg while keeping your back knee, hip and back shoulder in alignment and the down swing with a high finish. You did an excellent job explaining that.
He explained it perfectly. If you're having trouble, just look at the difference between the 2 examples in the beginning. If it makes it easier for you, notice how his upper body starts the swing and he lunges (bad). In 2nd example, his hips start the swing and then pow! Either way, staying back is one of the hardest bad hitting habits to break. This video is a great example of how to correct it.

how do you do it? you still haven't explained how to do it. By him swinging down it forces him forward...how many big leaguers swing down like that?
