    Funny thing is that the video on the right also shows the hands taking a direct down to the ball. Actually most every video Chris has on his web site shows this.

    Well, it's obvious that I am in the minority here and that I am not going to change anyone's mind. I'm not trying to. I've already stated that I am not an expert and that I'm sure many of you know a ton more about hitting that I do or will ever know. My only point of reference is a good friend...

    SB swing -VS- BB swing

    For the record, I took my daughter to the University of Kentucky for a clinic this weekend. The head coach started out the camp by demonstrating how she teaches hitters and what she looks for in a swing. Amazingly, it was EXACTLY what is taught to baseball players.

    Not sure if you are agreeing with me or disagreeing, but there would seem to be a lot more room for error with a SB than there is with a BB. It's only a fraction of that 1/2 inch with a baseball... Long bomb or fly ball... Meal ticket for life or bus ticket back home. Again, just my opinion.

Then take a 5'6" girl 43' away...

    This exact situation is why I posted the question. I took her to a camp last weekend at a D1. I won't mention the school in fear that someone here may have ties to it, but the coaches were advocating things that go completely against everything we have taught. My daughter afterwards looked at me...

    SB swing -VS- BB swing

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a thd. clearly asking the question. What is the difference between a power SB swing and a power BB swing? I've had 2 sons play at high levels of BB, youngest drafted last June in 1st rnd, and have spent hundreds of hours in the cage...
