I was wondering if any of you guys have some good drills out there. The son is opening up the front knee when he takes his stride and we'd like to break this habit. He is popping up often and also hitting many balls to the right side of the field.

I was wondering if any of you guys have some good drills out there. The son is opening up the front knee when he takes his stride and we'd like to break this habit. He is popping up often and also hitting many balls to the right side of the field. From what I can see, he's dragging the bat. I think Steve Englishbey may have a drill for that on his swing instruction video.
Short of investing in that, I would suggest that you drill him striding with his front foot closed, but I suspect that striding to an open front foot is symptomatic of more fundamental problems. Can't really tell without video of his swing. So can't really recommend a drill.
