Kreugs_01.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 1]

Open stance with right foot back "or drop step", hands high nearly touching the rear shoulder and both eys on the pitcher.
Kreugs_02.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 2]

Front foot is picked-up as short stride forward begins transfering the weight to the front side to help initiate the body rotation for bat speed.
Kreugs_03.JPG

Brett Kreuger [Slide 3]

Pre-Launch with hands reaching back, front leg landing on ball of foot @ 45o angle while stretching forward with stride and back elbow up.
Kreugs_04.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 4]

Hips open by pulling bat with bottom hand and pushing with top hand aiming bat just below the equator of the ball for spin.
Kreugs_05.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 5]

Ball waist high and bottom hand torque is now being executed for the second order of bat speed generation coupled with hips and shoulders. 
   
Kreugs_06.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 6]

Chest high ball, showing bat lag with back elbow dropped down next to the back hip (in the slot) with just a sight upper cut to meet ball squarely as it decends down into the impact area.  
Kreugs_07.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 7]

Now just prior to impact the hands are still leading the bat head through the hitting zone, belt buckle facing pitcher, a full hip rotation with a back leg drive.  
Kreugs_08.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 8]

Ball has left bat barrel with top hand wrist underneath the bat (i.e. wrists have not rolled yet), bottom hand fully torqued, bat speed is maximum, eyes and head aligned directly on ball.
Kreugs_09.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 9]

Arms are now fully extended toward the pitcher, the bat is swinging around a straight front leg that is anchored in the ground similar to a thetherball swinging around its fixed pole in the ground.  
Kreugs_10.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 10]

Complete full hip turn here, arms fully extended and pointing towards 2nd base, weight has now shifted to 90% on front leg with back foot and leg beginning to slide forward.   
Kreugs_11.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 11]

Top hand is now released from the bat allowing for a long and smooth follow-through to be executed as the bat decelerates.  
  
Kreugs_12.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 12]

First stage of follow-through with hands high in the air, top hand has totally released the bat to facilitate an elongated follow-through.
 
Kreugs_13.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 13]

Hands continue to separate with the top hand reaching upward and the bottom hand with the bat going down toward the ground.
 
 
Kreugs_14.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 14]

Body continues to rotate/twist in the direction of the ball flight with the bat barrel near the rear foot area.
 
 
Kreugs_15.jpg

Brett Kreuger [Slide 15]

Follow-through complete with top hand high and bottom hand holding bat swept around low along the back side of the batter crossing back over the plate coming full circle.
