Swinging down

[Rolling Hard]

lol. Bonds movements are so clean. It’s just easy to see.

the knee just needs to in a good position before launch. Every good hitter has the knee ‘release’ or push before the hands go. Some are at toe touch, some are later. It needs to be sequential.

BIg difference in release and push. Also how can it be sequential if some are at toe touch and some are later. Isn't there only one sequence that is right?

maybe ‘pivot’ would be a better description. I feel a pivot and push. But the knee needs to get ‘down’ if there is gonna be ‘good’ oblique stretch against the hips extending.

the pivoting of the knee needs to happen before the hands launch. That’s the sequence I’m referring too. Did I clarify it better?

do you see Mike(s) doing this? I do.





I feel like it’s easy to feel when you swing down. Squish the bug my friend.

Yeah, those things too. You're saying there's one way only?
I've seen many an ugly swing, from girls that have very high, hard contact rate and Avg. Who knows, maybe they're just doing it with their arms...

The physics and biomechanics are the same.

Yes, using the hands and arms is easy. Hitting on a 200ft field can be done with the hands/arms.

Wow, what is the biggest bat ever used? Who uses the biggest bat today?

Those are some good questions. Not sure about the biggest bats ever.

To be fair, I think schmidt downsized to a 35" later in his career(maybe middle of).

I think Judge uses/has used 35". Josh Hamilton and Alfonso Soriano also used 35".

Guys in the early 20th century used some big bats. I think Babe Ruth used something like a 40” 40 oz bat.

I read Ruth used some really heavy ones. I wonder if they were much more than 36" long though. I read Dick Allen used some heavy 36" bats, something like 38 oz.

Anyways, I wondered about Schmidts bat size a few days ago after my 10 y/o DD took a cut with a 34" wood bat, just foolin around, and she said it felt like it was impossible to keep the barrel up.

Google search says you are correct in this regard.

I’m really not serious about saying there isn’t style difference’s. There are better ways of swinging a bat. There are dead ends. There are discoveries.

Paralysis by analysis only happens if you don’t understand what your looking at. If you understand the swing you can tell what needs improved.

I remember Soriano swung a long bat. Not to sure about current players.
