My swing is too late?

Unread postby kwarky » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:00 pm

I was at practice and my coach said my swings take too long (by the time I reach the end of my swing the pole's already past vertical).
Any help with that?
And also, what drills will help me drop my shoulders (so I can get to full inverted position) when I'm at the end of my swing?
