Swing experiment

I haven’t been paying much attention to the lead arm/scap.

I’m getting jammed. Trying to TTB early/arc and pushing the hands all in one swing. ?

The reason why the hands are plummeting is bc of your break in posture or early hip extension. You’re coming outta your hip and the hands drop bc of it. The reason why you get jammed is bc you lose space bc your hips move towards the plate before launch. No spacing. I would learn how tilt your pelvis back (behind you)and try to keep it there. It will help you stay in your hips longer as well as keep you in your legs better. You could also open your back foot to the catcher a bit at set up, this will help the IR/ER of your back hip. Just a couple of fixes you can try.

edit: things that happen down the chain are usually bc of something that happened earlier in the chain. Fix the posture or your wasting your time with the hands imo.

Yes, he has said he swings down and through. Hitters with a high back elbow or hands always say they swing down.

They not only say it but do it !!

I’m going to make a check point about all the swing thoughts. That way I’ll remember everything like swing down, shoulders tilted down in front, tilt the posture at the hips, coil the back hip/pocket toward the pitcher, maintain posture all the way the follow through until I stop standing up, etc., That’s a good start to my list.

Do you think the lead elbow works up or does the lead elbow work down and then up like the barrel path?

 

[Shawn]

Looking at Cruz’s swing, he is using the lead arm much better than I.

I need to burn this into my brain and duplicate. He makes it look simple and easy.

Not sure why there is a weight on the tee. It looks like a Tanner tee. I love the Tanner tee and I’ve yet to knock it down.

You get a true contact with the ball off the Tanner tee. It’s designed to not interfere with contact.

Great product, highly recommend.

Lead elbow working up is a result.
