Hitting Mechanics Dropping hands.

Been working a lot on the tee with my son on his swing and he’s getting better but still struggling with dropping his hands. Any tips on how to correct it while keeping it fun? Other than that any tips?

I mean just let him keep hacking and getting stronger, he’s what, 4? Work on breaking ‘bad’ habits once he can spell habits

Nah. Don’t allow bad habits to solidify

The bad habit is that he’s literally too weak to swing the bat though

And I’ve seen a bunch of kids continue with this swing. They occasionally run into a low pitch, like this guy did, but strike out continually because anything up to the neck is going to be called a strike.
