Sudden Swing vs Get To Your Spot

[TDS]

You can’t control frontal plane movement. Not without losing adjustability. The other portions can be managed but not wise. Timing is the solution. Not movement imho. It’s why the swing needs to be short. Bc the length of management isn’t long. You can’t hold these positions and wait for very long. Something will be lost.

The best/most consistent hitters manage their shifts in small windows by timing the ball. IOW letting it get there so they don’t have much weight to shift. Balance isn’t hard to manage w short shifts. imho of course

Sorry WW but I am not following you here. You definitely can control frontal plane movement with balanced s-plane movements. How are you defining timing ? What allows for good timing ?

Its the balanced S-Plane/F-Plane that allows one to sit off-speed. Most amateurs shift across the pelvis to the lead leg during the stride and lunge on the off-speed pitches.

Once the foot gets down. Frontal plane movement. The hitter has so much time to shift the rest of the weight or take. You cannot shift catcher to pitcher and hold it. It must be timed. As opposed to sagittal and transverse shift follow thereafter and can be withheld.

The frontal shift has to be timed. It’s why we have quick short loads, big leg kicks, no strides. I think the average hitter exhausts or prolongs their frontal shift to early/late which causes problems no matter what. Yes the hips can flex to buy time. Not optimal though.

Edit: the other two shifts of weight have to happen w frontal shift done so everything depends on that shift and the timing of it.

Sorry, but yes you can but it needs to be dynamic.. Frontal plane (catcher to pitcher) needs to be balanced against s-plane actions. Its what allows hitters to get FYB. Its the strongest position to swing from.

Your daughter has nice balanced UFA's which allows her to get fyb.

See how the hips slide a bit to adjust. Trying to avoid that. Would like to see more vertical moves w the pelvis there. Flexion. I strictly want the the frontal to be the lesser of two evils. Simply bc the sliding stops natural decel and delivery of the barrel will vary more. Out front contact usually is the adjustment.

If I remember that was off speed to your DD correct? Sliding the hips like that for off speed is going to happen.

He speaks of sliding here. Not controlling or metering in the frontal plane. It creates adjustability issues. Basically can’t deliver the barrel when you want. Late to the fastball.

Yes. But it’s not optimal.

Less frontal plane equals more adjustability and better natural decel. Can deliver the barrel w/o delay.

Yea, I don't disagree with the small amount of hip slide. The key though is she doesn't give anything up because she maintains the rear leg/hip relationship.
