When Williams’ spoke of getting to contact with an unbroken wrists … this is what he was talking about … another way to think of hitting the inside seam.

My son will tell me he can really feel it cranking. Which to me translates into explosiveness.

When you put competing priorities on the hands (turning the barrel with the top hand, while also trying to hit the inside seam of the ball), good things will happen.

Yes, agree

I literally line-up the balls on the tees to help promote the notion of "hitting the inside seam".

I'm a big believer in the dual focus priorities you speak of.

Yes, agree

Thanks. That's really all I'm saying. For years the pendulum had swung so far in the direction of "just turn the barrel at GO". For the OP's DD, that's kinda what I'm seeing based on my experience.

There's a TON of great information in this thread to help anyone out.

RHC I think you are one of the good posters on tees sites and I absolutely agree 100% about not letting the hands drift ahead, the HPP needs to immediate but the hands can't be tied to the shoulder either IMO. If you look at video it certainly looks like they are but I don't feel that when I swing. My hands are activated and the shoulders go where my hands tell them. I tell my kids to take the shoulders out of the equation.

I'm just speaking from mine and Brooke's experiences. I've always maintained that. Brooke's swing has been built from several different ideas. I know the truth behind the HLS is out there but I also know unless people decipher through all the crap you will never find. Way to many people beating the drum of their own teachings. Personally I respect the hell out anyone that's willing to put their info out there but it's up to each and every individual to see what works for them.

Reading that old thread got me waxing nostalgic... There was some input from some of my old favorite forumers (HYP and LClifton).

Howe, can you elaborate on this? What does your son mean by "feel it cranking"?

You didn't care for my translation of "explosiveness"?

Ok then, never mind.
