    Default What do you think?

    A name I just found:Chas Pippitts Has a blog called Baseball Hitting Rebellion.Seems to explain the swing sequence same as what I hear on this web site.Just a different way of looking at the swing.

    Give this a viewing ... it will explain a bit more about what he means about turning through the core and how he wants the body torquing motion led by the hips ahead of the shoulders. He is basically advocating eliminating back arm push and improving wrist flexibility & barrel direction. He also covers the pinching of the scaps as a means of helping eliminate pushing with the arms. He wants to deactivate the arms in favor of emphasizing the obliques and lower back. He advocates hip/shoulder spatial separation ... and wants to see a delay in the rotation of the shoulders towards contact once the dynamic stretch is felt by the rotation of the pelvis towards contact ... much like SnF ... and in fact he refers to it as exploding through ... much like SnF is the fastest way to deliver the ball from launch to contact.

    As I have said on another website, I find his material to be very similar to Jack Mankin's.

    I'd be interested in which website had that discussion.

    Consider posting that at BBD ... I'd be interested in what the individuals there might have to say.

    I barely understand whats posted here.It takes me awhile to understand what is being discussed over there.A lot of great gifs and very different opinions.I enjoy reading and learning.I just thought Chas had a different way of explaning almost what is discussed here.

    I am with you on that notion. Sometimes I just don't get the subtle differences being discussed and need things spelled out.

    So, FFS, do you like the premise behind the Rebel Rack? It seems to me you might be losing some of the hands go back philosophy that is prevalent on DFP.
    The more you learn the more you question what you know.
    The more you (or someone else) question what you know the more you learn.
