Rear Leg Swings

I am curious about the weight and using the back foot and leg, because of SNF.
In this drill and swing from the Rajun Cajuns, and Bonds, the foot and rear leg is used with ground forces, as compared to most MLB swings, where the rear leg is weightless, and hip extension is still applied. By using the hamstring, coiled tight to the hip, but NOT, on the ground.

100 % Against. I do not think that "weight back" is correct. the weight is "Against", in this Puhols pic.


But on the "other end of the spectrum" would be Bonds, who at times, does not lose all the weight off the rear foot.

All swings MLB,softball & tee ball use 'ground force'/forces'.
Seems some maybe confusing the 'look' of rear leg weightlessness as not be 'weighted' during the swing. The weightless look is a follow through after contact with the ball.

Added: Shift AND Swing.

Mann - can you explain exactly what you mean by "hip extension". IMO, focusing on the center of mass instead of weight or pressure distribution would be more effective.

I must be confused because to me that rear foot has no weight on it rdbass.

I think this is where I am headed GM.
In other words, wether or not you use the ground to support your rear hip extension, or a weightless rear leg to support your rear hip extension, both ways are being used.

by extension I mean, Golf is a rotation sport right? You still need more hip extension | Stronger Golf

Not confused at all, can you really say rear foot is weighted? You can see this is before contact?

This could be an enlightening discussion to compare 2013 vs 2015 Lanphear to see if the problem is mechanical...... Is anyone capable of getting their hands on a 2015 gif?
