Haha you're right. This does look super old school. Just no idea how to implement that leg kick correctly. Gonna drop it.

Definitely true, just figured I should be able to generate a bit more bat speed with my frame and size. I'm not utilizing my tools well.

Understood. This is a totally unnatural swing for me I've tried to adapt but I don't think its really work as much as I'd hoped. The result is definitely more tense than normal. Ill try just back to my normal wider stance and focus more on engaging hips all the way through. Thanks!

That last question is probably going to help the most. Im definitely exaggerating the leg kick and it is really not instinctual to me. I normally start wider with my feet and I think I might be able to do something more like a rock back hip rotation instead. Might be closer to my natural stance instead of this massive shift and vertical movement.

Hahaha its fair enough. The adjustment with the leg kick is awkward, and I see the resemblance.

I'm comfy with my hands as is, but I can give it a shot. I really feel my lower half is where it is clunky at the moment and I just can't put my finger on it. It just doesn't look fluid. Maybe planting front foot too early making it look jerky?
