I love the Hanson principle. Its just that there is some type of process at work to give the end result of a great swing, with work that does not look right, or good.
I can think of so many clips of great hitters demonstrating some movements that look nothing like game swings.

I am doing something like Bustos, in my swing thoughts.

The two that post the most negative things about her, never met her, never talked with her, and have no idea what she is explaining in the video...
But make it clear to always use the hanson principle.


His demo:
This is the the guy they learn from. (Turn it..Right Now)


Turn the barrel (right now)? These swings look like a push to me?

Hanson these movements





To each his own. I'll stick with the 3 time gold medalist's hitting coach, (Howard)...

You're exactly right SL. That's why many have asked you, who continues to suggest it, to explain to the viewers what she is doing.

Mann, I'm glad you love the Hanson Principle.

It has to be clear here that you are not even remotely passing through the RVP Connection Point Position here.

IMO this should be more verification to you that the Bustos demonstration that you posted has issues.

Here we go with the game again.

Rather than discuss the details, we see ... dodge, duck, dive (dodgeball).

Why the diversion? Why not simply put the matter to bed and discuss the details of the swing that Mann posted?

First off that is a lie...I never said anything negative about Bustos.
I did say I didn't like what Bustos demo in the DVD.
I also asked numerous times to explain what Bustos was demoing in this gif...

I would rather have seen a DVD of the Reverse Hand Drill.....which has/had a corner...shame you didn't understand that swing.
Instead of the MATRIX DVD which has no corner....shame you didn't understand that also.

Bustos was a hitting phenom … having the traits of a natural born hitter. This was the case well before meeting up with Howard. It isn’t like Cystl was discovered late in life. She was considered a top softball prospect prior to entering college. There was a stream of D1 interest in her. Unfortunately having a learning disability led to not meeting NCAA academic requirements, and hence she took the JUCO path.

It is possible that Crystl protected herself from the teaching she received, and is now forwarding, by simply not learning the faulty instruction she later received. She certainly hasn’t embedded the mechanics she is teaching above in her game swing.

It is possible that Crystl doesn’t understand her swing in certain aspects, and that instead of attempting to teach what she does, she instead relies on the information she has heard from others ... some of which fails the Hanson Principle.

In any event, if we could get the people that advocate the above demonstration to describe it, then that would be greatly appreciated.
