Baseball swing vs. Softball swing?

[rdbass]

Can anyone put together a few side by side gifs of the baseball path vs a softball path from a pitch? Would love to see some different pitch profiles.

rdbass, nice example of the high level hitter working the barrel from in front of him to behind vs the softball player who takes the hands/shoulders back (stretches) towards the catcher which allows her to swing around the ball. 2 different directions of stretch.. One pattern allows to swing inside/out while the other swings around.

Hello Elbow advocates and climate change deniers, too, I'll bet. Linear v. rotational is so 1900s. It's ime to enter the 2000s and study some video. Or retire.

The "linear" versus "rotational" has been debunked as marketing terms for a very long time now. A high level swing has elements of both. For me, when those terms are used as absolutes independent of each other, I know that my part in the conversation is over. I don't care to try to argue that anymore. I teach what I teach.

when i switched from baseball to fastpitch, the biggest change i made was shortening my load. I couldnt afford any extra length from starting point to the load position. Everything else was the same for me

could you perhaps start sooner? even then i am lost on how a closer pitching distance effects how you load? even though this is how You adjusted, could you perhaps have started slow and earlier.

I guess I am missing something or im not nearly as good as I thought I was at recognizing the HLS patterns. I don't see the big differences you are saying. Can you point out which number frames are different for us ineducated folks?

I was thinking this exact same thing.




Dang, they didnt post as gifs. But they are elsewhere on this site.

I don't think you are missing anything. I just think TDS doesn't like the source(me) that posted the example.
