‘As my leg goes down, stretch.. that felt really good.’

I also see Judge doing better at this.

Hit on the left. Miss on the right. The pitcher has a lot to do with it but I have no way to measure that. When he misses he tilts further back and uses shoulder rotation, my guess is a slightly rushed swing and trying to beat the ball to a spot. IMO this is why most of our kids look great in practice and breakdown in the games swing mechanics wise. Hit on the left , I feel he’s behind the ball on a path. not rushed or hurried so he’s on top of the rear hip socket. Dare I say sitting in to his legs.

I know you are not saying coil is the only part of the forward move but you can coil and if you just stick your front leg out to stride you will be stuck back (Rich is borderline doing this in the video you posted in post 628)..Try it, as uncomfortable/nonathletic as it may be/feel....

Rich is doing an exaggeration. It’s just a feel and trying to show something at the same time.

The coil is part of the forward as well as stretching and even some hitters like the ride a little.

Hitters are always working forward. Yes there is backward actions. For every action there is a opposite and equal reaction. Coil back = coil/stretching forward.

Ok..didn’t say otherwise. Just said what he was doing was what I was describing.

The coiling of the rear leg in part helps control the forward move. To me, this is one of the contributors to AJ success. It some of his old swings, it looks like he falls forward.

Richard is doing the same thing as Pujols, without falling into both legs. ( the Pujols gif, posing)

This gif, same thing.

Sorry Mike the stretch is there !! Also the contraction is real !!

AJ shows the middle stretch and contraction as well during the "down to".
