barrel/hand pivot point, a.k.a TTB

[Mudders Brudder]

It does and thank you for the clarification. I like the 'behind" much better than the under, which you probably already mentioned and I just missed it. It is just even more proof people interpret certain things differently.

Lol...

If you recall, years ago I started using "behind and through" vs "down and to"....

....

So basically it is just empathizing barrel depth?

Yes.

Bat path check. Practice long tee from the deltoid position. If hitter can consistently hit (launch) linedrives they have a good bat path. Move on to regular swing off tee. If they continue to hit line drives consistently move on to front toss. Anytime they hit a few GBs or Pop ups move back to the deltoid. They will learn what behind and through feels like.

If at all possible, I try to avoid arguments with anyone holding a bat

The way she swings at times it wouldn't hurt..

So gravity makes us run? Or it helps us be grounded to run? It doesn’t make us fall forward to run. That would be the body making itself run. Reciprocally.

Don't be ridiculous. Gravity helps us run.
Gravity pulls you toward the ground. Lean forward and don't stick a leg out and you'll fall on your face. If you want to accelerate forward, lean forward. Lean more, accelerate more.
The reciprocal motion is necessary because the force exerted by the leg on the pelvis is not in the center of mass. The force exerted by the leg is pependicular to the line of the pelvis so the force causes the pelvis to rotate (torque) The upper body's reciprocal motion arrests that rotation.

Nice..mine is usually not to get into an argument

We knew that.

LOL. Took you all day for that? We are talking about what makes the body run Bobby. Outside forces do not make it run! Do you read? Anyway, gravity doesn’t make us lean, the body chooses to lean or not. Technique is a choice ! So running is not a series of falling forward and using gravity to accelerate the body! Stop moving the goal posts just to be right.

Yes, I do other things than waste time interacting with you.
The body chooses to lean? and what force pulls you to the ground as you lean? Choice? Some type of muscular eccentric contraction?
Outside forces act on the body.
The point I was making is that balance was resistance to movement. Movement relies on imbalance.
Falling forward happens in the absence of balance.
Walking and running involve a series of controlled falls.
Spend a day or so thinking about it.

enjoy !

Nothing replaces good timing! I took from it the “feel” of down to helps the “feel” of being shorter and helps timing. So I guess we go out and start chopping balls off the front of the plate
