Swing down

[Shawn]

You think that’s good swing? Anyone could do that. His elbow is up, remember you and Julray are saying the FYB is the launch position so you have to lower the elbow.

And where is all his weight going? Only place it can go from starting in the FYB position and swinging down.

They both do the same thing, you've just got different times in their swings that you're trying to compare. Vladdy is starting to TTB, where Bo is still loading or tipping his.

You might be interested in Bo's and his pop Dante's description of barrel path, and using the hands correctly to achieve it...


You'll note, that they too are pro "behind the ball" getting the barrel on plane earlier, and against all of the "swing down" stuff also.

EDIT: Sorry for the repost, I see that "jdint" beat me to it.

They are at the same point … I know the range on the Vladdy swing is shorter. But they get to the same spot, they are both tipping in opposite directions. The tip is nothing more than getting to a good launch position… 2 different styles, as per @FP26

Since you refuse to swing just watch STD’s video of the thrill. You will have the answer to the question. It’s all theoretical theory between you and STD.

We do drills where you load up and then swing in the command drill. Never seen a hitter start from FYB, the position Julray and STD are suggesting as the launch position.

I’n not following….

Theoretical theory… LOL. I’m not sure what that is, But I heard that’s what Trout is basing his next contract on.

Like i said, I don’t need to convince myself, that’s kind of stupid.

I've posted my swing on here twice and I have others that demonstrate that's it's not just theory

 

[Mudders Brudder]

Yes it's a good drill.. Add in a ball and see if the hands and arms can support the goal that Bonds and others speak of and demonstrate .

Feel free to do and film that for us.

Do the drill, with the "swing down" hand path, with the barrel coming over the hitter's rear shoulder, and show us how much of a big league barrel path that'll give ya. I'm sure others besides myself would be very interested in seeing that as well.

You can preset the load if you want and then swing down.

It doesn’t seem like you want to know the truth. So yes your just a theorist like STD.

I'm out. I'll leave this wonderful, but ultimately pointless conversation with a video of last nights hitting session with my one and
only student. 12u hitter (DD) who was taught to turn the barrel behind the ball. No "down through", no "core contraction".

I'm happy with her progress and she is happy, which is all that really matters.

Peace and Love, Peace and Love

Well I hope you stick around long enough to read that that's one heck of a nice swing your DD has there.

You've taught her well, and it would behoove others to follow your lead. Because that's not just one of the best 12U swings here, but one of the better swings I've seen posted here of other 5-6 years older than her. Well done!

I kind of feel we are not getting anywhere here..I don’t know could just be me I guess…
