    The forearm piece is the key. It helps keep the perpendicular relationship between the barrel and rear forearm. Think about keeping that relationship when turning the barrel...

    Dropping shoulder or leg issue

    I like her swing a lot. Would love to to see a straight on side view as well.....

    I also appreciate the convo. We call "the bold above" loading. The running start is still part of the loading process. Is your torso engine different from what others describe? I usually here is described as a "twitch/pulse", a very sudden violent move. Your torso engine description fits the...

    And he also led major league baseball in walks, homers, and runs. Two time all star and runner up in MVP in his first two years. Silly to say he's not excelling. Adjustments happen by continuing to coil. The Bonds clip is a great example. If you have to fire your torso engine then fire your...

    Interested to hear opinions on how many frames from launch to contact?

    Judge was second in MVP voting and one of the best hitters in baseball. I’m not understanding the ceiling comments. He’s excelling at the highest level. :confused: If the hands are the one and only trigger commitment is as late as possible. One move and your barrel is to the ball. If two...

    I guess I’m not sure what GIF 2 is highlighting? Looks like a couple frames before it touches. And is the touch significant or is the weighting of the foot? Or neither?

    You need to determine what is launch, And is what is the loading. Gif 2 is not the launch, a lot of loading is still left to be done.

    Two independent engines. Hands are the trigger. They fire instantly almost simultaneously. I don’t see .4 seconds as being enough time to read a pitch, Fire one engine, then consciously fire another engine....

    Rear leg is reactionary. Stress it, coil against it. Turn barrel, it feels like the leg snaps around. If you stretch against the rear leg, then turn the barrel correctly, I don’t think you need to focus on anything else. Leg will react to the prior movements. Sudden. 1 piece swing, two pivot...

    :confused: lol I don’t know how long it takes for a ball to get from pitchers hand to homeplate (I’m sure you do!) but I can’t see how anything but one move is optimal. I got some workouts now, I’ll be back tonight. Good talk!

    The rear leg is turning it. Turn your barrel. Both pivot points go into action

    So my hang up would be how can it be sudden if you have to do two separate moves to launch the barrel?
