Sure wanted to meet you. I waved to your daughter when I drove by a certain Division I University after leaving town. Wishing her the best! I'll be back. I always wondered why I taught what I taught sometimes. I got a lesson in physics that day!
In the first video clip, it is a recognition drill. Bustos is tossing balls with top spin and back spin to simulate drop and rise balls. Pretty good drill me thinks!
What a great statement.
This to me, would the ideal swing, accelerating to contact.
I think this would give you, those minute adjustments, as compared to instant acceleration, and trying to guide that energy.
One of the reasons, i work hard on elimainating bat wrap, is that the bat is moving so fast on a plane, that there is no adustments that can be made
From lag, to contact, the wrists break, bat speed increases, the final front leg lock out happens, the ball leaves the bat, with the bat at peak acceleration.
It appears to be a pitch right down Main St. to me. Do you have the full video clip to prove this is a high inside pitch? I just don't see it based on her hand and bat path. Maybe rdbass can lend some help??
inside or offspeed adjustment is by "lagging" (sliding barrel with longitudinal pull,AKA drag) the barrel ?
someone would teach that ?
someone would teach that ?
I would argue that it could be. Many hitters have "stepped in the bucket" slightly and had tremendous success. That's why I think it isn't a big problem if the proper resistance is preventing everything else from opening with it.
I've done it too. I took the "step open" drill and added a barrel tip. I made that my regular swing. There's so much freedom with it. The body clears and the hands can freely work.
i mentioned in an earlier post, that i thought lag increased on inside pitches, and was very short on outside pitches.
she is demonstrating the same thing Bonds is doing in this tomohock clip.
in the Bonds gif, lag is very short, the time between wrist cock, and release, she holds lag longer, but it is the SAME movements.
