Over the course of the last 6 or more years I have watched you post many a theory on hitting. Be it a golf ball or a baseball. While there are some things I will not accept in the theory of a high level swing that you or others talk about, there are some things that I will embrace.
I have embraced a number of things from various hitting instructors. The most recent was not PCRW, but I still use those applications on my students. Why? Because I see tremendous value in that method. I have also embraced things from other rotational instructors who I think are in line with what I like to teach my students. To create a high level swing.
I have moved beyond PCRW on to others and am about to spend some time in study with the RVP system of hitting. I have not been there yet Tom. That is not to say that I have discarded any of the knowledge I have gained from the study of PCRW from the gentleman that is so fond of you. I still like what he does and will continue to follow him too.
I have considered some of your post to be of value. While others may not see them that way I try to keep an open mind to some of what you say because I feel it needs consideration. Even if it sometimes borders on insane at times. There is a fine line between insanity and genius. So when you walk that line I have to figure out what side its on for that day. Keeps me sharp.
I want my students to have the best possible instruction I can provide. To limit my thinking to one type or another is to limit the knowledge I can pass on to make my students better. That isnt what I want to be about as an instructor.
So, you can label me if you want but I will continue to form my own opinions and now and then I come up with some original thoughts of my own on hitting that I find work better than any of those I have studied to date.
That I why I continue on this path. Who knows, one day I may reach the end of the road with something to show for it.
You never know.
