    Hip/Shoulder Separation and Backside Scrunch

    The concept of Hip/Shoulder separation is one that has always bothered me. But only bothered me in a way that i didn't/don't understand it. There have been a few posts recently within other threads, and thought i would start one specifically for this question. The twitter post i found on...

    What is 'Chicken Wing'?

    I originally thought chicken wing was front elbow bent 90 degrees ish and far away from the chest. I am reading somethings now that are saying it is actually the rear elbow with less than 90 degrees pinned to the side. Curious what the actual 'definition' is. thanks.

    Shoulder flying off - what does it mean.

    From Pattar's thread i asked a question regarding how a shoulder flies off. It seemed to me more of a posture question than an actual shoulder degree of rotation question. Can someone please show me and explain a shoulder flying off vs a good swing? And why it is bad. thanks.

    The best not knowing what they do (did)

    I never realized (or even looked) that Monica Abbott didn't realize what she pitched until i saw this. see :32 seconds into video with the wrist flip. I am not trying to call her out at all, just going back and forth with the hitting threads that MLB'rs say one thing and do another. Reals vs...

    Ideal contact point, body angles & hand positions

    Would like to see photos of anyones thoughts on ideal contact points for an average fastball center cut over the plate. I don't want to muddy the waters with if it was a change or a cutter or anything else about zone position. Just looking for anyone to show a picture of what they think an...

    Early bat speed - does it exist?

    I had jumped the topic in the Double Pendulum thread, so thought I would start this new one. It seems like this has been debated in the past (see snf thread) but am really curious if there is data proving there really is early bat speed and/or what the definition of early bat speed is if it is...

    Looking for Pitching Clinics - Winter 2019/2020

    This is probably too early to ask as everyone is just finishing the season, but curious if anyone has a list of good pitching camps/clinics that i can try to take my DD to this winter. We are in the midwest around metro Milwaukee area and don't mind somewhat of a reasonable drive even if it...

    Hand Speed vs Bat Speed thru the swing

    I asked this in another thread but curious anyones thought. It may give me clarity on bat lag and pivot point thoughts. Does the bat speed ever equal or get close to the speed of the hands during the swing. I thought i saw a zepp article on this but cannot find it. The question is based on...

    What type change up is this?

    I am trying to work with DD on what I think is a flip change and am not sure I have been able to find a slow mo video of one. What type is Sarah Pauly’s ? Does anyone have video of each type and grips? Or is there a thread out there I am missing? Thanks.

    Rock the U

    I’ve read a few times about this term and have seen it described, but curious if this is an absolute? In working with DD and trying to make her swing “look” right and by exercising the Hanson principle it seems there is often a consistent locked triangle from the elbow to elbow and up to wrists...

    Miggy 6 Home Run GIFS

    In reviewing some old threads someone posted this gif. Can someone comment on the uniformities of the swing and when they diverge? Perhaps some lines and arrows as to when this happens on each gif? I am curious if it happens at the same time on every pitch. To me, if they are the same up until...

    1st year 14u - Swing mechanics what to work on

    Been working on so much recently and just want to make sure i am aiming my DD in the right direction. Already got great feedback on the pitching and throwing, and thought i would put up a video of her current swing. i recently got a Blast Motion (i like the techy gadgets) and like how it...

    Pitching mechanics and what to work on

    Been on and off with wanting to and not wanting to pitch. Started as a 9U and early 10, didn't do anything during 12's but would always ask to pitch during off times during tourneys. Not sure why but got the bug again. Last few weeks have gotten back at it and thru many years of reading these...

    High Level Throwing mechanics

    Been using basic Wasserman water bottle drill and other cues. Looking to understand what to work on firstly to avoid injury, secondly speed/accuracy (if they can be considered together.) Have also looked at Chris O'Leary's information as far as having the forearm at or almost to vertical at...

    Looking for a Tewks video

    I cannot recall where I first saw the link, but it was around a 10-15min youtube video of Bobby describing the Knob to Ball swing vs the Barrel to Ball. It was very interesting as he showed how deep in the zone you can hit vs knob to the ball, and represented this by placing balls on the ground...

    Found the brush assisted whip

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope the gif works. I have been reading this forum since Hal Skinner was still allowed and BoardMember was just starting to change the world (mad props to JavaSource for carrying the torch). I was a beginning bucket dad and realized i knew nothing about...
