Fixing Elbow Position for Better Batting - Expert Advice

Question
When I bat I've been popping everything up because my coach says my elbow is down and I'm dropping my shoulder. So I have been trying to keep my elbow up but its not working. Do you have any advice??

Answer
Hal,

Try concentrating on keeping your LEAD elbow/forearm up as you rotate your hips. Go to youtube and do a search for rotational hitting. Work from that.

There is no way to hit a ball in the air without the back shoulder getting lower than the front shoulder.
