I always look in the mirror and feel like I can't put my hands or body in a good spot, and I don't feel particularly well either. I think the key is to get better, bit by bit, every day. I might need to think about working backwards, in terms of getting to where I want to be at some point. But I would also need a plan to get there.
Joe Mauer has a good swing that I might try to emulate.
I'm pretty sure that tee work is not the answer. I think your swing is worse off the tee and therefore direct tee work might should be avoided.
things to work on: seperation, cock hips, throw top hand through, flat swing (good finish)
i need to get a feel for a good swing:
couple things:
bat flying through zone w/o bodily effort
body loading, hands, w/ still head
quit, under control
feel bathead
loose, relaxed swing
joe cuddyer
ryan spilbhorgs
seperation
load body
maybe i'm getting too handsy- need to use body in right way
start the swing on shoulder- hands away, so you have a consistent starting point
working on: cocking front let, pushing off back leg, seperating hands back and up with the right arm, and holding the hands back while the back knee worked under was awesome. do that in the mirror, then do the heel timing drill, then add a dry swing, then go off tee. great. hands at shoulder, loose, deep grip- take bat straight to ball and finish low and w/ top hand (don't pull bat out from under) high tee, stay through the ball.
it appears that cuddyer is doing some things with his shoulders and hands, swinging them through, but keeping his head perfectly still.
notice cuddyers practice swing
my best thought on the day was getting the hands going back and creating seperation
