Arm action vs hands.

it’s in the load, Shawn.

please show us a student of yours doing it the ‘right’ way Shawn. Or even your own personal swing will suffice.

My kids work on pitching mostly. They are the pitchers for their team. We are just starting to work on hitting more and will continue into the summer after the season. So, we will have time to work on hitting only. I also wanted to make sure I understood everything before trying to teach the HLP.

You agree that the "floating" of the hands up and or back should occur against the rear leg "during" or simultaneous with the forward move, correct?

So in a sense wasn't 24 doing that? If he was lat he probably would have been fooled a lot more. Seems he was making an adjustment #28 was clearing not fooled and was completely on time. IMO opinion to know for sure for #24 is to see one when is on time.

Exactly! My two shortest posts,

He certainly could have been fooled. Easier to see what @Work=wins is saying in the gifs in post #48. Look at the amount of time between when Sanchez gets his hands back and when he slots compared to Posey.

I see what your saying. but Sanchez, has a lower handset that Posey at least at that phase of the swing the gif starts. So his hands have to "float" to a greater degree, if that makes sense. Again I think to be sure of Sanchez, we would need to see him on a properly timed pitch.

My swing progression from the big muscles do all the work to the hands control the swing.

Haley’s HLP lesson with Richard

Nothing personal, but for the love of God, I will never understand the reasoning behind a one legged swing. I will never get the logic of hitting off one leg when you have 2 legs. I will never understand being unbalanced when you could be balanced. In almost all other athletics/ sports athletes...

Yeah I don't know. I will let @Work=wins explain himself because I may have botched what he was saying but to me Sanchez just looks rushed compared to Posey from a purely qualitative, what my eye sees, perspective
