In the top video, I teach upper body mechanics very similar to this. She stays connected.
I believe in bat lag...Where the bat is parallel to the ground for a short period of time. I dont see that in the HI demo.
She turns and holds on maintaining the box around the corner and then releases the hammer(bathead) to impact.
Do all you HI guys that are on this site, see the second video/HI mechanics, in this swing posted above it.
And if so what part?
Bat Lag
The difference in bat lag from casey to bonds is she did not get her hips along farther by getting her back foot off the ground. We have worked on that.

I like Lamberth's swing because it was a homerun and the sweet spot of the bat hit the ball on plane at a high rate of speed. After all that is the goal. It looks like it was inside and she made a good adjustment to get get hips and hands cleared so she could get the sweetspot to the ball (about 22" from her top hand)nice adjustment. I do see some of the HI concepts in the Glasco swing. The circular hand path and circular path of the knob.
Do you know the outcome of the Bonds swing? It may have been a dead pull and we are looking at a very early part of the swing.
