Outstanding examples of TTB "RITNOW!"...it should be noted the location of the ball in the top two (how long they're waiting) as for the "timing" and launch "direction" of the TTB concept.

More great work RB, where "a picture (video) is worth a thousand words"...thank you.

What has been resonating for the hitters I work with is the simple cue of setting the hands on plane for a middle/middle pitch and adjusting from there as they turn the barrel. Rich using the term lasering and I use it as well. If you grab a 5' piece of pvc and hold it in the middle you can practice hitting a tossed ball with bottom end of the pvc and your hands have to be on plane. In a regular swing the barrel would naturally follow the path/plane the hands set as long as the rear forearm is supinating and the front forearm is pronating.

What... Setting the hands on plane for a pitch in a average location and then adjusting... What a radical idea/cue!!!

OK, I'm curious again...

Are you under the impression that TTB is a fixed movement that's the same regardless of pitch location? Did you not see all of the various location of the pitches that Miggy was TTB to in the collage that RB posted? So do you believe that hitters move their hands from their "launch position" to some other place(s) before they actually "launch" the barrel to the ball?

I am just repeating what Butternmaker said.. Why are curious with what I am saying.. Go to the horses mouth.. Not the parrot. The reasom why I was intrigued with what he said is because I also use a cue which helps my DD get to picthes in all locations ... Except we don't emphasize TTB.. If we did, this discussion wouldnt be so popular.

BTW.. Feel kind of silly answering this.. But no I dont believe TTB is a fixed position.
