    Cool view..

    Cool view, and swing. No external rotation of the humerus as when your throwing. Different rear arm action

    Players who play for their Parent who Coaches

    I've did it for 2 yrs with my DD. It can get rough at times because without realizing it the conversations between the 2 of us were nothing but softball if that makes sense. Since my DD quitits actually been really nice, enjoying other things, see what her other Interests are. It can be really...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    Mechanics would break down, but not due to bad mechanics. I would say its more due to their mental approach and preparation. If we are talking young players, most do not have a game plan approach. they are not taking the time, pre-game, game time, in the dugout, on deck etc. to prepare. I think...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    I can't speak for @pattar To me if there is a difference in forward move is not much IMO. Therefore no I would not count it as a mechanical change. But that's just an assumption, as I don't know whatAJ worked on.

    Teaching the high level pattern

    Maybe, maybe not. Edit: Like the video I shared with W, I just don't see a major fundamentally different swing. I would think a player who is making mechanical changes might have a short burst of success, but is generally short lived. Or they are very streaky. One who gets the timing window for...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    If any hitter changes a mechanical thing, it will affect his timing, but I'm saying he corrected his timing which affected his "angles/leverage. Simply fact, you fix your timing, it will slow things down, allowing the body to move more efficiently, IMO. You don't go to your mechanical tool box...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    "They clamp onto back so the hands can fling forward with the chest via the obliques against the hips." You stated this which I took as you meaning that is a bad thing of the obliques against the hips. Thats all, just a simply misunderstanding I guess Anyhow, I just don't see anything majorly...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    Ok, No didn't need the details. It just seem like you were making a distinction between "middle contracting against the hips" and "Obliques contracting against the hips", in my reply to W

    Ok, please explain what makes up the middle. Here is what you have stated previously, unless you have changed. https://www.discussfastpitch.com/threads/hlp-vs-the-high-level-movement-pattern.43441/post-664573

    Teaching the high level pattern

    No, I'm not saying I see it early. I'm saying when has it ever been according to the HLP to load it "Early"? The way I have always understood was to be in sync with a stride etc. Just like AJ. When was he ever now or in the past , loading the scap early or later? As far as the obliques are...

    Teaching the high level pattern

    I always thought this was the case concerning what the HLP pattern promotes. I noticed previously you stated AJ is loading the scap later. Is he really?

    Another year. Evie is 11.

    Looking great!

    Just have to ask where is AJ walking away from hands? His hands maintain a pretty stable and predictable relationship with the rear shoulder.

    16u and a lot of work. Humble brag!

    I like the thought process a coach and I discussed. Start back so you don't have to get back. Not that it's an absolute way of doing it. It just simplifies the process. A drill like this can help gain that feeling. All IMO

    Haven't posted in a while. Just my .02, she needs to get on her backside. Seems like she is weighted forward too much.

    Teaching the high level pattern

    So Albert says to stay closed, but then proceeds to open up when he swings the bat. 🤷‍♂️ Unless he means that as a mental cue to not open up "early". I personally see it as he is not staying closed and dragging the knob across even though he may be thinking mentally as knob to the ball.

    Teaching the high level pattern

    I personally tend to view it as: when the lower half starts to "Turn" or fire, the Upper half is resisting. This act of resisting with back and upper half will automatically start to be pulled into tilt over the rear hip socket. Just IMO

    Excellent angle to see sequence

    I think this video provides a great view to see how these hitters have sequence. Slow it down, play/pause
