    Do you share secrets of your success?

    touché. Couldn't have said it better.

    The secret to the Chuck-It drill is in the front leg bracing.

    Swing Help

    I'm guessing that she is intuitively doing what her mind tells her to do. The ball is much lower than the bat, so let's get the bat and ball on the same plane (level). The natural way for an 8yo to do that is get the barrel down there ASAP by flattening it behind the shoulders. That's my guess...

    Squash the bug - story

    There is no linear weight shift when the bug I squished/squashed. There must be linear weight shift.

    Need help/in game cut

    Based on this video, she is a wrist roller. The bat path is that of a classic wrist roller. Before anything else can be addressed, fix the wrist roll. Use the open top hand drill daily until the problem has been fixed. Tip and rip may help wrist rolling, I don't know however.

    MN Coach Allister article

    You need to re-read what I wrote. You've missed my point. The point is, the pitching has for a long time carried the team. The hitting is only slightly better. So some, more than the article had given, credit should go to the Pitching coach. Moulton was a Lisa Bernstein/Julie Standering find...

    MN Coach Allister article

    Not so much credit to Moulton or Hasset for that matter. The real injustice is not enough credit given to the pitching coach Piper, One of the best in the country. She has suffered with that team for years and years. She has developed a group of outstanding pitchers over the years. I'm glad to...

    I can see that once again I haven't made myself clear. I'm sorry. I wrongly assumed that walking away from the hands is a passive move with the hands. To my credit however is years back, FFS stated to a father that you should, and I'm paraphrasing, simply tell her to put her hands on a shelf...

    I think that because I can see the bat barrel's angle become more and more acute. You can't do that with hands that are "walked away" from. The hands are very active.

    In the "walking away from the hands" portion of this swing, his hands are very active in that they move up and back in a triangular hypotenuse manner and even start the "running head start" segment of his swing. Mann provided us with a "clip of the year" nominee. Beautiful clip, well done. The...

    Cabrera in no way whatsoever walks away from his hands.

    DD Thoughts?

    She has the dreaded hand drop and the flatten the bat barrel behind the torso. Bat drag and a long swing. Don't drop the hands. Plus The old gate swing. Then work on correct weight shift.

    Back to work and open stance

    This is what I consider the Bond's swearing in position. It's at this position you would brace or not brace (for a take or check swing). Note the front foot is grounded (plugged in) and the front leg still has the bend in it. There is no bracing yet. This college player is in a very good...

    Back to work and open stance

    The brace comes after the plug in. The start of the bracing coincides, albeit slightly before, the unhinging of the wrists. Look at a check swing. The front foot is plugged in but the bracing doesn't happen. Look at a typical college or MLB swing in which the ball is struck. The front foot is...
