I didn’t mean you personally have an unhealthily obsession. I was speaking more in a generalization of “everyone”. Nothing meant towards you personally.

Very unhealthy. He thinks he invented the HL swing.

Did I read that wrong.........
Shawn, you ask a lot of questions are you asking to get answers....or are you that type of person that ask a question that you already have the answer to....if so, my bad for trying to help.

And by “he” I was talking about TM thinks he invented the HL swing. I tell you what I will never mention him again as I have been around a long time and have some inside insight to him as a person. I’ll just leave it at that.

I should have written that better. My bad

Generally I ask questions because I want other opinions. I generally don’t get involved in the conversations that have nothing to do with swinging a bat or hitting a ball.

This is incorrect. He claims to have identified what happens in a HL swing.

and now he claims the best in the world don't know what they are doing ..

Why is it inconceivable that some really dont know? I'm good with numbers. I wont claim to be among the best in the world but I'm pretty good. I used to drive my one middle school teacher crazy. She always insisted that we show our work. I would routinely figure out the answer and then work backwards to figure out the steps she wanted. Honestly I always thought her steps made it more difficult. She would stand behind me and watch and then ask me how I did it. I couldn't tell her. I just did it. I really dont know how.

This is not a new claim.

EDIT: I also don't find it nearly as surprising as you seem to.

That came from Jack Mankin. Mankin research was ground breaking. Not that Mankin was 100% correct with how to swing a bat or hit a ball. He did impact everything now being discussed.
