Redhot.
Thanks for the honest reply.
I posted that teacherman would like this in good spirit. When I visited his site, his rough behavior did not bother me.
I have video of Casey doing the SNF. I like you try different things. Just never posted it.
Some people like to tear up anything I post.
He has taught me a few things from visiting his site. I like some of it, not all of it.
Steve Englishbey has taught me a few things. Boardmember, Mark H, Ssarge. Many more
I have learned from many but when you have a guy and an olympic player put over 100 kids in college from their instruction and play at all levels, anyone that says their type of coaching and instruction does not match MLB and they dont know what they are doing, you have to wonder if they (other hitting gurus)are open to what they really teach and the motives of the comments they make.
One thing about your post I believe you have wrong is the turn real hard and push about our swing.
We also try to whip the barrel through and work with teaching the girls how to swing a hammer to show wrist action and how to release the barrel to impact.
Side note: Its good to try and match pros but MLB has a batting avg. of around .270
Is that the goal?

Way to go mountie, how about this for an eye-opener, the gurus have been going at it since 2006. Slowly, the truth is coming to a field near you.
It's all tied to the spine engine.... And how the spine should move during the swing. IOW the back is used to swing similar to how reptiles swim. This action allows for the sequence (scap clamp/barrel turn) to happen.
Reptile action vs trying to turn the barrel.

TM and Tewks have some fantastic stuff and Brooke has benefited from it. The reason I posted about how loud the ball is off Brooke's bat is because that's the true difference in doing what TM and Tewk talk about, the sound is totally different. I can tell how she's going to hit just by watching her rear hip action, when she does it right it's going to be a flat out missile, when she doesn't it's going to be a ok hit, HUGE difference in whip and power. TM always said the whip is behind and not out front and he couldn't be more right.
I go back and look at some of Brooke's older swings that I thought were her best, they were good at the time, but they are so bad compared to where she is right now. Like the gif of her swinging outside on our patio thats posted on here, that swing is nothing like her swing now. The gif of her in all black is the best swing she had ever taken up to that point, TM called me out on it and he was right.
That is the in game swing we were after. She's gotten pretty consistent bringing it into games now and she's hit some head turners with D1'S watching and taping her.
Like I've said before I've learned from every camp/site out there and I've always acknowleded it. TM and Tewks have hit the ball out of the park when it comes to the SnF. IMO the way Howard Carrier and his camp teach dynamic loading is also an absolute. The worse thing people can do is block themselves from information because they are afraid to learn or be ridiculed. I still firmly believe that no one has all the answers but I also believe if you pick and choose wisely that you will find your answer.
