    Perfect swing?

    I have no doubt that she'll be back and better. She's in very good hands.

    Perfect swing?

    Thank you for sharing. Why do you think so many on these boards only hear the bold but never dive into the other half of this huge equation? After all, that turning barrel needs to be delivered with the consistency you speak of. And knowing what you know, you'd probably agree that there are many...

    Swing down?

    This is AP's idea of staying inside the ball. In the full clip, he shows the wrong way of staying inside - barrel dump. Very similar to what Braun was showing here. This is Brauns swing thought:

    That is where the whip comes into play.

    Hi Peppers, I'm sorry, it's not something that I've ever worked on or have experience with. It wouldn't be fair for me to comment.

    What powers the barrel turn?

    Check out what he does with the top hand wrist on that location. Notice how he loads the barrel into the swing launch. Swing launch and barrel launch are not the same thing. Separating them allows for a clearer discussion. Wanna teach your hitter how to stay long through the ball? Get them into...

    This question proves howe lost you really are. It should read: The answer is, he's focused on keeping his hands back as he moves out. You see? cause/effect. You are infatuated with the effect. Lost!

    I guess my Fat Troll needs another beat-down? Let's trip him up with more video of hand path... Bwahahahah Watch him. He's got no clue when this hitter's hand-path was executed. I can do this all day! Dance for me Fatty.

    Hmmm, I wonder what these guys focus on??? Is it the HANDS? of is it the SCAP? LOL I can do this all day.

    What powers the barrel turn?

    As the rest of you follow along, just know that there are some who continually cherry pick videos to try and make their point. They won't show you comparable swings - different pitch and location. They can't, because it won't fit their narrative. Example A: Probably one of the most consistent...

    How do I teach DD to keep her hands back while turning the barrel?

    Excellent. Here's a vid right up your alley. Direct/Load - the barrel is not yet launched in these vid's:

    How do I teach DD to keep her hands back while turning the barrel?

    I would be careful with interchanging the terms "swing launch" and "barrel launch". That sloppiness has gotten a lot of so-called gurus in trouble. In fact, some of them have never recovered from the oversight. :D So what do I mean? I was watching the Yankee last night; Brian McCann was at bat...

    Ben Hogan's Five Lesson's is one of my favorites. I equate Hogan to Williams in many ways. Endless hard workers and did not suffer fools gladly.

    What powers the barrel turn?

    Correct Mann, finger grip pressure is stronger than palm grip. The point of mentioning the "crux" is to illustrate where the resistance is felt during the along phase - "toward" fingers vs. "toward" crux. Active and educated hands. The Direct Protect's worth is during the "along phase". Tbone...

    Officially exposed, AGAIN!!! :D This players swing is now being used as the model - high level pattern. OH MY His knowledge is limited to his athleticism. He's a non-athlete giving advise on being athletic. I'd be more inclined to listen if he was talking about tasty fried food.

    Remember how you used to lick SE's boots? Then you became an expert... Oh My! Direct Load Launch Poor Tbone needs some deprogramming.

    You're a soft, overweight and out of shape dad - nothing more. After your boy moved on, you decided to add a revenue stream to your portfolio. And you hate that I point that out for everyone to see. Deal with it. You're like O'Leary that way... :D
