Well those are both total myths.
In today’s video, we go over those myths, give you an exact definition of what the arm bar is…
… and two great drills that you can do to start fixing it today!

Hitting with the locked arm has hurt me on numerous occasions.. Thanks for the video.

[@GuthrieBoys]

Thanks. Drills 9:00.

[@actualgaming8892]

All good hitters arm bar

[@johnminze3891]

Thanks. I think this drill will help my son who is doing the opposite. He starting keeping his lead arm elbow bent, and stop extending the arm even after contact, as if every ball is far inside. I think he may of developed it from too much soft toss in the basement over the winter. If you do not think this drill is good for that please let me know so I do not hurt his swing any more. :)

[@ProSpeedBaseball]

If his lead arm is bent through impact you will most likely need to work on a longer load with the lead arm.... not a locked out lead arm, but as long as you can get it while maintaining a slight bend. Then start taking some easy swings where the lead arm straightens out through impact and start increasing the speed from there. We definitely want the arms to release! Hope this helps out!

I'm at wrong sport. I meant to look for BJJ video

[@nathanmccallister2156]

Great video, my son has this issue where he straightens both arms in his load, gonna try these drills!

[@ThekiBoran]

The front arm should be straight and against the chest, the back arm should be bent at 90 degrees and tight to the side. See Ken Griffey Jr. for proof that a straight front arm at contact is preferred. See Babe Ruth also.

[@happy8kiddo]

I used to think that you couldn't make solid contact without straightening the arms but now from video we know that contact is made with the arms bent on the way to straight arm.... so...i don't think it really matter that much... again, the game is not played on the tee, so you have to sacrifice some power for efficiency.....the bent arm allows you to barrel up some pitches that might get in on you, while otherwise you might miss.

[@AngelMartinez-bu3nx]

Very good points! Great video!!!

You should start using exit velo sensors to validate your thesis.

Jaime Cevallos explains why the "arm bar" is good

[@ThekiBoran]

Amen brother. Jaime is the best around.

[@Quasimoto44]

And, you can not get your hands through inside the pitch on the inside corner or even off the plate to barrel up the pitch. You also can not adjust to moving pitches, or when you are fooled. It is also more difficult to check your swing! Arm-bar is great for little league coaches who know everything. Beyond that it is foolishness!

[@nickriley2527]

Can u use the first drill with a special on hand bat?

[@rslwannabe9475]

My bat speed is really fast and I can hit nukes but my elbow comes way inside, kinda like bat drag but not bat drag, to compensate for that pillar of strength is lost.

[@plowboys1]

you need to take the lead arm out of the swing not try to manage it consciously you will be chopping bat if you pull with lead arm... this will hamper hitting surface..just get to ball with the top hand,inside, under and flat and the lead arm will be properly managed

[@bryanrmcnair01]

YES...the front arm does wrong only if the back arm causes it!

[@josephgonzalez7887]

I’ve been struggling to correct this I legit can’t get right on the verge of quitting

[@RobertMielnicki]

Do you think Griffey Jr had an arm bar?

[@ThekiBoran]

Babe Ruth had a wonderful arm bar.

[@bryanrmcnair01]

Babe also let his back elbow get ahead of his hands!

[@gnomyagoo]

Hi did you read my message?

[@vmigop]

Go back and tell all the great hitters in history it was wrong to arm bar. 😂

[@ragger1414]

Reason for the Jason Hayward drop off and the reason Bryce Harper will have the same drop off in 3-4 years as natural young strength begins to fade
