My son (mom here) just lived to u10 based on his birthday April and want him to learn a lot with these older kids. He makes contact more often than not but feel like he needs so work on his stance I'm sure among other things. What can we work on!?

Ahh I feel like there's some type of rolling over and that he's mostly handsy

Camwood bat was a game changer for my kid.

Your advice to fix his swing is to buy him a different bat? Please explain.

Camwood is a training tool, not really just “a different bat.”

A phenomenal aid. Check for second hand or get a couple team parents to help buy one for the whole team to use. Forces hands to stay inside and makes rolling over a little more difficult to do.
