    Maintaining prober elbow separation?

    What you will get from many of these members is that drills don't work, and only specific work will work. I get it, but it isn't helpful for someone like you just trying to learn. Sure some drills are harmful, but one mans junk is another mans treasure. In any case, i like eFastballs simple...

    Swinging down

    e, are you saying you don't like Taylor's swing?

    Swinging down

    In looking at this swing again, i really think it is a swing i would like my DD to emulate. At least with the hands and torso aspect of it. Hands stay high and aligned with shoulder plane. He seems to be bringing the elbow down before heal plant, but not sure he needs all that leverage yet...

    Swinging down

    I see it that he is keeping a constant top wrist angle and because the barrel starts facing more forward his elbow has to be higher. IMO swinging down has nothing to do with the elbow. Start the elbow lower and the barrel more vertical with the hands in the same relative position wrt the...

    what do you think?

    I think it's more Hanson principal vs DFP. And I don't think i have ever seen ONE approved swing on here. Every single swing on here people comment on seems to have a flaw or two.

    10u getting stuck in the middle with video

    also, member's daughter getting Rick Paulied, look how his lower half doesn't move. Had my DD try to pitch with no stride and was getting almost 90% of her top speed. maybe a bit less. But arm, brush and posture (required for BI) are critical.

    10u getting stuck in the middle with video

    You don't need to work on drive mechanics yet. Just make sure upper mechanics are solid. Look at Cat Osterman at 14. Staying straight and using brush interference, pulling down on the ball around the backside of circle. As someone else mentioned, do yourself a solid by reading all the...

    Help with this issue

    All of this is why the hitting forums are dead on this site.........shame. The OP is really trying to figure something out and none of the last few pages helps in any way. I know, my post is not helpful either, just needed to comment. good luck.

    Help with this issue

    It may be just me, but I don't agree with the Blast data as it is shown. Perhaps it has a different vertical center, but i see her swinging down and not up. If not down, then no more than flat. Where the barrel continues to go down from an already leveled position. That combined with the...

    K position

    Still decent bokah for an f5. Nice shot.

    K position

    I think it's the dead spot in the middle of release of foot from rubber to stride leg toe touch. I am somewhere of the belief that the release from rubber (ball out at 3) can happen a bit later as long as the leverage is attained when the stride foot plants and the arm is at around 11-10 oclock...

    Got it thanks. When i do this i feel the small of my back 'scrunch'. i thought i remembered someone saying to keep the knees behind the front of the feet though, that you didn't want your knees to go that far out? maybe not. I guess i was just confused by the term 'hips too flat'. which i...

    Thanks, so sorry to be dense. which one is the correct hitting posture? Maybe a photo of a hitter in the right position with lines? I ask because i am trying to have my DD work on something like this, just not sure it is right. thanks.

    Would you mind sharing a visual on a photo or something. Thanks.

    what do you mean by 'hips too flat'?

    E, you really have to be kidding me on this. Do you see where the camera is positioned? That runner in the front of the photo is coming off first base. That angle is not from the side. You can't layer over the same vertical lines from elbow to wrist at every angle.

    monkey butt and quad dominance, Are they linked?

    When i look at all the quad v glute posts and info, it really seems like it can be describes as easily as staying on the balls of your feet vs heel. At least for the movement type things. And i am not using anatomical terms, just a 'feel'. I think with Kettle ball, sure you can use glutes to...

    17yo Maddie

    My DD is sooo late in contacting anyone, but she is interested in Criminology and Humboldt State was on her list. I think she just really likes the idea of getting away from her parents.........
