No, I really don't. They look pretty darn close to opposite to me, lol.

I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm pretty dense when it comes to swing mechanics, but I just can't see similarity in barrel or hand path.
pay attention to the shoulder tilt.

Shawn, do you see Richards pattern in these swings? What things do you see and what are you not seeing? Not an argument. I think I do see some of his pattern in OUs swings

Unfortunately they never show enough swings on replays in fastpitch. I don’t have cable, I don’t pay for commercials. I only have ESPN plus. I watched OU a few times and thought they matched Richard more than any team.

I’ll post some swings later.

These two looks similar to me and I can see the similarities in the Oklahoma swings in them.

But I still have great trouble seeing how this movement in the gym demonstration:


Has any similarity to getting in this position:

LC is really showing her ‘feel’ of how she executes her swing. the follow through to me is for affect. Not correct. She wants to get the ‘down to’ emphasized for the clinic she is teaching at that moment imo. She’s trying to show that swinging up/level takes to long.

I agree with swinging up/level takes too long. When I watch some of the OU hitters I see the shoulders getting upside down early, some during the knee lift. Bit they still had good timing consistently all season.

This is the Bonds/Yelich drill. Just missing the ball and the front toss. If she hit a ball it would go straight into home plate.
