Feeling weight through your rear heel is a great way to activate your rear glute and hamstring. It promotes rearward coil and maintaining good stride line. It provides pace in your load forward and aids in adjustability. Use a small board to emphasize the feel and make it part of your daily routine. Please like and share!

Good Video, I have a player that is doing exactly what you said but says he doesn't feel like he is heavy on the front side, even though video obviously shows he is. It causes him to swing down on everything instead of lifting baseballs. Are there any other good drills to try and get him to feel the correct way to stay back without just spinning on his back leg? Also at what point on the swing should his back heel start coming off the ground? sometimes I think it is coming up too early. Thanks for any advice.

I like to do open stance or single leg drills to help feel the back side control the swing. You can go to my instagram page to see a bunch of different drills I do with my hitters: instagram.com/hiprohitting/ When the back heel comes off the ground has a lot to do with the specific hitter's anatomy ie hip, knee, and ankle mobility. Generally, I like to see the back heel stay down at least until the front foot first touches down and a lot of hitters will keep the back heel down all the way until the front foot is fully flat. Anywhere between front foot toe touch and front heel plant are acceptable, in my opinion. Hope that helps!
