Looking for another set of eyes - 16u Swing Analysis

[Work=wins]

Thanks for the feedback all, now, I have been reading this forum for far too long, and I swear the first time I have heard "hinge" is this week (after being out of the loop for a few months) I understand it, just find it funny that I don't recall seeing the term before will work on some things this week at the lesson and have a local this weekend.

the ‘hinge‘, and ‘dump‘, ‘drag’, ‘Level hands’ etc are all downstream from the original problem of the sequence issue stated before. Folks used to say it was DBSF, if I’m not mistaken.

if you can get her to load the hips, core then hands she will be much shorter to the ball with pop.. it should clean up quite a bit. What you would like to see is when the middle moves the barrel is making moves as well. They should be synced.



you also might want to try just adjusting the stance to a 50/50 or 60/40 and see if that cleans up the sequence automatically. Means you won’t have to change anything else. Worth a shot.

If you work on 'hinge' you will waste a week.......don't know why I bother.

What was your original comment I don’t see it

So what I’m seeing, and please correct me if I’m wrong, is she’s all back and then all forward. Instead of the hands elbow whatever you want to point to still working back into their load as you get into toe touch she loads it as she gets into her gather.

that’s the incorrect sequencing I’m seeing and what is causing the barrel drop and disconnect in her back hip.

yes. Which causes all the other symptoms mentioned.

edit: looked at her swing a few more times. I think the rest of the swing is pretty good. Interested to see if the change in stance cleans it up. Should get rid of the negative move and start more neutral to ‘back’ with the same intent. It might change the way she loads for the good or the bad.

Can you explain the 50/50 60/40 ? I have an idea of what you mean, but I want to be sure -

just try and start in the middle or a tad back in stance. She starts like 40/60 or 30/70. Most likely why she gets stuck and loads the hands early.

the back knee is farther away from her back foot compared to her front knee and front foot at stance. Yes it’s subtle. But the feel is very heavy front side etc. She never feels balance at any point in time.

I’m kinda thinking that was the cause of the sudden decline in her production as you mentioned. Just trying to find the root problem.

so for me I would try to get rid of the Heavy frontside at set up. See where you’re at. Might be an easy fix.

Bat draggers have a longgggg slow swing. As the pitchers get faster...and they will...
You can waste your time on all that 'fancy stuff' or you can learn to TTB. Learn to use those hands correctly.

haha. She TTB late. Every swing TTB. Sync it to an engine. Then you’re on to something. You gotta get better descriptions.

I see no TTB....but dragging the bat.
You don't have a clue (giggling like a school girl) until I post.
I gave JMHO OP can decide for him/herself.

Is that what you think? At least you’re entertaining.....
