Looking at swings I see a lot of people make generalizations about how and where your hands and arms are when hitting a pitch, without regard to pitch location. The positioning is simply not the same for a high inside fastball versus a low and away curve ball. Yes sound mechanics are always the same but your positioning at contact is different it just has to be.Yes that is what I posted, he doesn't know what a good swing plane is or how to create one. Like in the video he thinks you lower the hands and flatten the barrel behind the body. Same thing I posted. However what he is saying in general about the led arm being away from the body is correct. In the book he is showing the "colinear" position, the barrel being an extension of the led arm at contact. Eric and I had a conversation about the barrel/lead arm alignment at contact.
In the book he is correct the spine angle is creating the swing plane, although he mixes in lowering the hands and flattening the barrel behind the body to create the barrel path.
