Coil

Curious based on the clip below where everyone feels the hip coil (with regards to loading the lower body) is complete (which frame)

Frames 21 (start) through 39 (end) is the coil (load), primarily with upper body with a little bit of hip coil (lower body) starting at frame 25 through 35. In general, I don't see a lot of lower body coil but maybe its the angle of the vid?

Frame 33? same as toe touch?

Hip looks it stops coiling in frame 37/38, which is after toe touch. Would need to see a pitch where contact is made to really tell when heel plant (swing commit) happens, though.

Hip coil complete at frame #35.

I think it's frame 33 where the coiling stops; then she holds the coil.

I have watched this clip too many times now i'm getting crosseyed. The hips are definately coiling thru 33 maybe 34 or 35, but by 36 they are starting to uncoil. Watch the stripe down the rear hip/upper leg, as well as the small part of white pants toward the front of hitters leg.

If I said I thought effective coiling (meaning for the purpose of loading the lower body) ended at frame 16ish - how would that change the way everyone looked at this swing?

What is making the hips counter rotate from frames 25-35?

ng?

What is making the hips counter rotate from frames 25-35?

Her hands.

 

[RayR]

And so do you think the additional hip counter rotation is adding anything to her swing? Is it part of the loading of the lower body?
