I watch the clip we took last week face on and I just don't see it:

I agree with you Ian. His leg action is tremendous. Pre impact he couldnt be better. When he gets stronger and his left leg gets more powerful he'll probably post up on it better as well and hit the ball a mile!
What he does though is keeps his head stuck and doesnt seem to turn his upper body (and head) hard through the ball as he could. This probably slows down his pivot anyway but I would say this is the cause rather than the effect. If he could master that he'd have far more extension post impact. Due to the head slowing the upper body down through impact, he ends up with his arms slinging past his body, hence why they collapse a bit quickly and dont extend fully
Tell him his head is an 18lb weight that needs to follow the rest of the body! Id have him trying to make his eyes follow the ball through impact - have his head turn as his shoulder turns. Might be hard for him to get used to and he'll have to learn to trust it and time it but he's got age on his side!
This might be overly technical for Liam but the videos illustrate poor vs good head movement through impact pretty well I think
