    Rotational Hitting

    Mike, That's part of it. Keeping it simple : if your hands travel in a straight line to get to contact, that's linear to me.

    Rotational Hitting

    Mike, Unable to view the video you referred to. V. Guerrero is has a linear swing because he keeps his body square to contact and his hands & barrel inside the ball approaching contact. He takes a huge hack & he's a bit of a free swinger but he stays inside the ball very well. He's one of...

    Rotational Hitting

    Hit Dr. 24, Any MLB hitter that uses rotation to "start" his swing is not going to be successful. Most of the time when hitters get jammed or loop under the ball, it's because they are open. When they turn off the ball is when they lose bat speed and control.

    Rotational Hitting

    Guru, First of all, all hitters do rotate when they hit. They do not torque on purpose. Too bad your experience didn't teach you anything. I have 19 years Pro experience. I have talked to Tony Gwynn a number of times about his style. He is linear not rotational. Unfortunately for you, you...

    Rotational Hitting

    Your style if swing is what is "CREEPY" This supposed to be where coaches exchange info because we should want to get better as coaches. I was only offering to exchange some information to help. Good luck with your made up, Epstien, garbage style of hitting. How much professional playing &...

    Rotational Hitting

    Guru, How does rotating create power? Do you rotate to create power for any of the following? Hitting a tennis ball, slap shot ( hockey ), hitting a golf ball, bowling, volleyball serve or spike, pitching or throwing a baseball, pitching a softball, kicking a soccer ball or football, throwing...

    Rotational Hitting

    Guru, Who is your MLB friend? Please name your source. I would like to review tape or still pics of your friend. This is a constant debate between coaches with different backgrounds. Most lower level softball coaches seem to subscribe to the rotational method , where most pro baseball...

    WOW! That's a lot of big words to describe a simple movement. Are you teaching a team of kids or PT's?

    Rotational Hitting

    Posey, How would you like to schedule a game against Slapper23's team? If he has a whole team full of players that rotate to hit. Your worst pitcher will throw a shut out. Even average pitching will expose weak hitting. Just don't throw any change ups, that's about the right speed for "...

    Rotational Hitting

    Slapper 23, Tell me your definition of a linear swing. Maybe we are on the same page, just using different terms. Are you saying that Candrea, UNLV & most MLB hitters DON'T take a linear approach? NEWSFLASH : THEY DO !! I'm sure that the top hitters in the game don't intentionally try to...

    Rotational Hitting

    Hit Dr 24, Have you seen Mike Candrea's mini-clip on Right View Pro? It defines a few key elements of hitting. Have you noticed that all of the top softball programs take a linear approach to hitting? UNLV's coach has been teaching linear acceleration for years. That program has really...

    Rotational Hitting

    Hit Dr 24, Rotational hitting reduces bat speed and also decreases bat control. Hitters become "one dimensional" when they have a rotational approach. I have never heard of a GOOD one dimensional hitter. When a hitter starts with a rotational movement, she begins a negative chain reaction...
