Teaching hitting Carrier/Bustos approach

[straightleg]

But to say Carrier(RIP)had it right is wildly overstated.

He put so many kids in college. He had at least 5 I know of that set all time homerun records at there colleges they attended. Last one he had was at Northwestern last year. Passed before she did it. He had a sign in his hitting area. TSW. Ted Samuel Williams. He got a kick out of what I said it meant....This shirt Works...

What was posted back in the day wasn’t what you’re showing now. Or what you and him preached before. Do you disagree? I do like what you’re doing now, at least the game swings. And some drills. But I have little faith that his old stuff is what we are seeing now. Everyone pivots here and there, no shame in that. Shows the ability to learn and grow.

Care to post your dds swing from back in the day for comparison? If not, that’s ok. I’m not looking to argue. Just pointing out what was and what is and what’s not.

I agree the longer you do it the better you get. I can teach a girl a pretty nice swing much faster now if they do there homework.
Would love to post my daughters swing. What little bit I have on this computer wont upload to you tube. All the video I had got lost on an old hard drive.
I do have quite a bit of her hitting but it is on super 8 cartridges. Have to get that transferred some day. If I find one of daughter will post it.

Another one of mine that signed. She is telling her body the sequence of a swing in slow motion in between pitches.
Works for us the slow motion practice. We don't do a lot of it, just 2-4 almost every session

Slow motion practice. I could watch her all day. Awesome student, great personality.
She loads inside of back leg, steps out ( to perfect toe touch) and separates. Elvis move, rotates the hips to bat gets parallel to contact. Contact hitting it square, then the finish.
I teach the girls to dab, but don't make them. I also have them take lead shoe off and work on perfect toe touch some and not stomping with all 5 toes...

Couple of questions:
I notice your hitters tend to drop their hands. Is that intentional? Flat swing?
How fast is the pitching they are facing? Seems a little slow.
How far are those fences? Inside the park HRs??

Couple more. Elvis move?
Do your hitter tend to be pull hitters?

No I don't teach them to drop there hands, drop the barrel. Work in progress. Some of the parks are men's fields, 300 ft plus fences. Of course girls play and face all different kinds of pitchers and levels of play.

My hitters go all directions. My hitting area is designed to work all fields. I have 40-60 home run videos from parents. Could post many opposite field homeruns
