That's good advice and I agree.. but the swing can still go to @!#% after the load.. right? The other day I posted a video of my failed attempt at turning the barrel with my hands. I got all kinds of questions about how I was loading, "are you coiling, are you pulling back" etc etc. There are things and other components of a good swing that are independent of just "turning the barrel with the hands". Am I wrong in saying that? I don't think it's enough just to say "turn the barrel with the hands" every time a vid is posted of a young hitter who is struggling to generate bat speed, square a ball up etc. Some would make it seem "Turning the barrel with hands" is the magic blue pill that everyone can swallow to solve their hitting issues. I just don't have faith in that approach. That's JMHO.
Julray,
That’s some very good questions.... All I can tell you is that my DD started having more success when only focusing on Turning the Barrel..... With that being said we had years of working on the load and so on.... So maybe it was just a coincidence that she was ready to move on to TTB exclusively..... I have no hitters that I work with other than my DD...... I don’t know if the gurus on here would say that my daughter has a good swing or not, to be honest I could careless what they think of her swing as a whole..... but they always provided me with recommendations on her swing, some we used and some we didn’t and without their guidance she wouldn’t be where she is today. I know that I didn’t really answer your questions...... because to be honest I can’t I don’t not have enough data to do so, but just wanted to share my experience with my only hitter......
