Is it just me or does the action TM describes look very unbalanced? I had always heard to make sure you have a balanced swing. Is this the one leg vs. two leg swing i had read about? Just curious since it seems every time he demonstrates, he swings and then falls over the plate on follow thru. If that is the intent and the only way to keep the corner, then i understand, just seems a little different than a balanced approach.
"1-legged hitter having a much larger delta."?????
I just watched the video and I think I finally understand one legged vs two legged. I don't agree everybody has to be one legged especially in fastpitch. Hitters can have a momentum swing (2 legged) and be very successful. Stanton, who he throws under the bus, somehow launch a ball out at 123 mph with a two legged approach. I think, especially for smaller hitters, that a little momentum is needed to create bat speed. Yeah keep the coil as much as possible but also realize that the obliques and other core muscles are pulling as much as the rear leg is driving and the swings axis can be the spine not the rear hip socket.

I think the catapult guy did some no legged experiments. Shawn???

My point was that whether one has a lot of momentum in their swing or not has no bearing on whether they are 1-legged or 2-legged. Betts moves forward a lot but is still 1 legged for example. Every hitter
has some pressure on their front foot when they launch, nobody swings from 1 leg as the front leg is needed for balance. 1 legged vs 2 legged is more about how the foot pressure is distributed between the front and back foot at launch with a
1 legged hitter have a majority on the back foot.
