Prevent Leaking/Shifting Forward After Heel Plant

[julray]

Are you right handed?

I like where this is going, I've always wondered about this. Yes I am right handed

Actions up-front matter.. Sets up for the sequence of movements. IOW's look at how you transition from the stance. Screw that up and it's tough to recover.

Thanks TDS, When you say actions upfront ... what do you mean exactly? Let's dumb it down

The way I teach it is through resistance through an active back knee which dictates transition or an active core contraction leading the launch after toe touch.

Thanks W, same thing I said TDS, let's dumb it down. If I said this to my DD she'd say "Huh?" LOL. What does an "active back knee" mean exactly?

 

[julray]

Thanks to everybody for responding as well. I'll admit, I'm a little overwhelmed with all the information. Can you imagine a dad trying to figure things out for the first for their kid?

Local hitting coach in our area that works with a few pro guys and a lot of fastpitch college players teaches when your front heel hits your thigh should still be externally rotated or over your back knee. This is his way of keeping you in the hip and back.

Interesting... you mean like what JD is saying in the video?

Julray, I think we have been through this before but it can be done multiple ways.. I have found one of the easier methods is to learn how to use the middle in a way that balances out the frontal plane movement towards the pitcher while the legs act as supporters.

Most likely , but I'm an old man who forgets easy LOL. In bold above, is this what you would tell a student, hell I don't even know what it means. I'm not attacking or disagreeing, but if I picked up a bat and tried to replicate this I wouldn't know where to start... know what I mean?

Yes, but like Pujols is showing there is a point he gets quiet and sets the lowerbody. It’s not chaos.

It's the angle, the tee isn't really that far out front. At heel plant the tee lines up with my front foot

Yeah, it lines up after you go get it. lol

I just know when I have my DD bat lefty she does the same thing.
