@thesoftball_lab: Pop-ups are a result, not the root problem. If you’re constantly getting underneath the ball, don’t just focus on the outcome, figure out why it’s happening. Here are 3 common swing mistakes that can lead to pop-ups: ❌ Dropping your hands/losing connection – When the hands disconnect from the body, the barrel can lose efficiency and work underneath the ball instead of through it. ❌ Early shoulder tilt – Tilting too early changes the barrel’s path and often causes you to attack the ball from underneath. ❌ Pushing your hands – When the hands push toward the ball instead of turning the barrel, the barrel often enters the zone too steep, making it difficult to consistently square the ball up. Every hitter is different, but if you’re always popping up, there’s usually an underlying movement causing it. Fix the movement, and the contact will start to change. 🙌🏼 #softballdrills #hittingdrills #hittingcoach #softballswing #softballdrill
