The difference between the fellow in the green shorts and the fellow dressed in white. What makes the guy in the white optimal? The top gif didn't show up for some reason although it was included in quotes in my 1st reply. Thanks

The biggest difference is weight distribution.. your weight should be on one leg, and balanced over the ball of the femur.. Not 2 legged..

Example of drill I found paging through old threads...

FP26 in this drill are you suppose to really drive your hips? What is the purpose of hitting the ball the bucket?

Thanks!

Hitter pushes/pushing hip with pushing arms as the hitter turns the barrel.

Rear leg/hip....pulls

For another perspective

Above - barrel in sagittal plane - hinged into hip - hip extension per drill requirement - rear wrist hammer - explosive
Below - barrel wrapped around head - twisted around leg - untwist as hard as you can to get bat around - front wrist hammer -long and slow

Have a nice day!

RHC, the better video to duplicate is the bottom one? Can u tell me what you like about it? Make sure I can help my girls.

Thanks!

Yes. Take BM agenda and reverse it :).
Hip coil around your rear leg feeling the force on the ground with your rear foot. Feel how it wants to fire/release, sudden. Now stretch above your hips, so between your hips and shoulders. Feel how it is just comfortable...you could relax like that...the body has no desire to fire/release suddenly.

I had my DD set up how she would normal hit off a tee. Same distance in her stance. You bring the barrel 'around' by 'turning the barrel to the ball'.

Pay attention the the position of the left foot(rear leg/foot). To me this is key. Copy exactly and get the feel.
