I agree you just can’t set the posture and have a good swing plane. The hands are important. The hands send the barrel into the torso/posture vector. It can be looked at as an geometry problem.

I do see the spine a angle and hands working together. I get your point.
The Blast sensor measures some of the geometry in the swing.

It looks like we are the only ones not going into winter hibernation.

Ok, there is a major difference in the Reynolds demo and this swing. The hitter is using the hands early (TTB) and Harold is sliding the hands through and using them late or out front.
yeah. But I’m talking in terms of path. Both tight and down. Harolds demo is missing the ‘planing’ aspect, I think bc there is no ball.
Hands staying in the plane of the shoulders, they stay inline of the shoulders/posture. Send the barrel down.
So if the pitch is down and in hes gonna point his shoulder plane at it? Do you have any down and in pitches on anyone? I'm skeptical as to whether the lines would line up like that.
Edit: I found this of Trout. Looks a little under to me but I guess its pretty close.

Is that JD? Maybe he needs to come on here so he can figure out how to hit again next season...
Down-n-in is done with the Ferris wheel.
1:39. That looks an awful lot like what bonds and reynolds are doing to me. Or if the carnies forgot to put cinder blocks under one side of the ferris wheel.
