Please post a clip of crankermo's dd that matches. Let me guess....Barry Bonds. No wait....you said Jim Edmonds. Except he doesn't match either....because as I've clearly shown....he doesn't turn the barrel towards contact as a first move. Nope....what Edmonds does is load his barrel behind...
You have got to be KIDDING ME! Can you not comprehend what people write?
I didn't say you said my dd has special needs. You never once said that about my dd. What I said was that kids who are born with bodies that aren't perfect....ARE NOT INJURED.
I see the alignment issue with my dd's leg...
Two girls on left don't spin on their back foot....squish the bug. Two girls on left don't have a gate swing. Two girls on left get full extension after contact. Two girls on left have a corner and don't swing in a circle.
The girl on the right is doing the equivalent of golfing a ball off a...
Your ability to comprehend what people write is about as bad as I've seen.
My dd is far from a special needs kid....her leg was eventually repaired with surgery. However, the fact is she was BORN with a severe right leg alignment issue. I've had the pleasure of working with true special needs...
My dd hasn't taken a tee swing with me in a couple of years. I prefer using pitched balls using a full windmill motion when experimenting and working on the swing. I've never been one to put a lot of stock in tee swings. Tee swings bring to mind the famous "Boards Don't Hit Back" quote from...
Another video of the girl on the LEFT was taken and posted on here. It was taken shortly after the video that FFS decided to post. It was taken to highlight what the lower body looks like when the crunching/knee bending is removed and better balance is attained.
It's impossible to totally...
As I recall....the swing of the girl on the LEFT was originally posted about 18 months ago because a parent was trying to figure out how to teach their dd a sequence...where the hands go back/stay back during the stride. I happened to have a clip of the girl on the LEFT doing the "Feet...
All these hitters create a corner...and throw the barrel out from the corner.
I don't see this barrel path in any high level swing.
If you want to teach your kid a ferris wheel one piece centripetal swing modeled after a "One Legged Golfer" ....go for it.
I'm going to stick to the...
Good hitter create a CORNER at the back shoulder by taking the shaft of the bat down toward the side of his upper arm/deltoid. They then turn the knuckles of the top hand from the back of the handle to the front of the handle...NOW!
As I said earlier....the carving action is happening....or...
When FFS posted the video of the two girls....his advice to the girl on the LEFT was to learn this barrel path:
He calls it a 12 to 6 barrel path. Imagine the girl on the LEFT using that barrel path against live pitching using her vertical bat handset.
No thank you. Terrible advice...
Notice how Edmonds IS NOT accelerating the barrel AWAY from his head/neck slot as his back elbow lowers....like the girl on the Right does. The girl on the Right is not doing the same thing as Edmonds....not even close. Some of you don't understand what the ABSOLUTES of the swing are and are...
Lookwood CARVE AND FILET. Notice how she doesn't accelerate the barrel AWAY from her head as she CARVES. She gets the barrel in position during the CARVE action to THROW IT.
It's one move with a change in direction within the one move. You need a change in direction to create whip. The...
In the high level swing you want to lag the barrel. During the CARVE action the barrel cuts down beside the upper arm (deltoid). What you don't want is the barrel accelerating AWAY from the head/neck as a first move like the girl on the Right does.
