Perfect Circle's friend!
I did, but couldn't post the photos and didn't get a message yet. Not sure why either case!- Steve Huff

Perfect Circle's friend!
Can someone please get a hold of Perfect Circle for me. I can't seem to find him or any email source. I have a mutual admirer of his that sent him some photos!- Steve Huff

Looks like Bustos has new video's
You made the gifs? Show her swing just at the point of contact. See what her extension and bat lag looks like with later gifs. Perhaps she got fooled? Again, you guys take one swing and write a book about it! What was the purpose of stepping in the bucket? To get her hands inside the ball! She...- Steve Huff

In the first video clip, it is a recognition drill. Bustos is tossing balls with top spin and back spin to simulate drop and rise balls. Pretty good drill me thinks!- Steve Huff

Sure wanted to meet you. I waved to your daughter when I drove by a certain Division I University after leaving town. Wishing her the best! I'll be back. I always wondered why I taught what I taught sometimes. I got a lesson in physics that day!- Steve Huff

Pretty neutral I would say! Well my impression here is there is no equivalency between your posts! Perhaps enthusiasm for something other than your flavor of pablum seems threatening to you. Are you sure you aren't Teacherman? You sure have the same writing style! In truth I have seen one of...- Steve Huff

Stretch & Fire Success!
This is my last post here. I don't care whether you like it or not. I don't care if you don't like my answers. I don't appreciate your obnoxious remarks, or insinuation that I might have, and now really did say to her, in the middle of her swing which lasted less than .4 seconds. The ball gets...- Steve Huff

You asked if they were compact! I addressed that. In that I also addressed the differences in their hand path, but both were direct. However, I can not compare a partial swing from a 90 degree different angle and assess anything else. I don't know his swing except this gif. If he has had success...- Steve Huff

Critique / Help Series of Swings
I have been too involved in this. I have obligations that I am ignoring, and one training document is a month late. That is in truth selfish on my part to indulge in this. I am going to come back again just to take a peek! I want to see your best videos and gifs on pitches on the inner half, up...- Steve Huff

Critique / Help Series of Swings
And the farther the bat barrel is from the shoulder, the more difficult the job will be to get that bat head back in and out in front to hit a pitch up and in. And the lower the start, as in Lucy's swing on that riseball, the more difficult it is not to look foolish like Bustos did against...- Steve Huff

Critique / Help Series of Swings
I agree with much of what you are saying here. Your opinion of Torres swing and mine are different. You are coming from a different technical perspective. Show me one of your girls, MTS, Marcus, etc. that is more compact? Yes, it is ridiculous to propose that no one swings and misses. May I...- Steve Huff

Critique / Help Series of Swings
I consider this post ridiculous! Every player should be taught to lay off pitches that are out of the zone. Lucy usually does. And have any major leaguers ever missed or swung at a pitch up? They are paid millions to lay off pitches out of the zone. Players are paid millions to field every ball...- Steve Huff

Granted. But even Bustos missed worse than that. The pitcher was a pitching student of mine. She throws a screwball, rise-ball, change, curve, and has no drop. (I am not happy about that! Though now she is convinced to give up her screwball which she gets hammered on and learn a drop). But...- Steve Huff

Yep, very poorly worded. If the heel plant isn't made in time, during delivery, he will never catch up. When heel plant is made, the hips rotate, so motion starts. I have to admit I was about ready to accuse you of copying the text wrong.- Steve Huff

No, it doesn't take full rotation to get to hip connection. I believe I did answer it. I think it is compact. But I also added caveats. I liked Pujols' better. I didn't answer it because I didn't see it. But I answered it before answering this post. I agree on the basics with a lot of rotational...- Steve Huff

Compact! It is about the same as Pujols. But, he holds his hands closer to the shoulder which I don't like. It makes it harder to get your hands inside the ball, out in front of your body. You can see that the hands form a relatively straight line to connection, but then what happens? So the...- Steve Huff

Critique / Help Series of Swings
Yeah, her helmet didn't fly off but she missed it badly. It looks worse in the photo than to observers, but this photo shows how bad her guess was. She ended up with the bat above her head like a propeller. Some batters are weak on high pitches. Lucy is an average hitter, but she is a slapper...- Steve Huff

No, you did fine. I can talk to you. Never had 1 second of qualm about you. Tommie Smith? I don't have a black glove, they're brown. Can I wear brown gloves doing this? I understand your point. Can you give me multiple views, which perfectly express turning the barrel, launching the barrel, that...- Steve Huff

Yes I did, it was right above you. "Very compact". To the first question. Yes, it stays near the shoulder in a connected swing. Yes visually the hands, pull the bat around the shoulders in a connected arc. The shoulders have width, and pivot above the pelvis, the front hip moves away as the...- Steve Huff
