    AROD fights back

    I haven't been around a while but this vid showed up on my phone. A golf ball does not go up because of a Ferris wheel swing. The club has a Pitch on it so it will go up. Try hitting a one iron and getting the ball in the air,lol. Point being some of his statements are incorrect...

    High school coaches

    No not a rant about HS coaches, but who is this guy, and why do i like his stuff so much? https://vine.co/u/975162792023916544 If you scroll down through the gifs, i see things that i really like being done. And, i believe this guy can teach a high level swing.

    Golf vs baseball hips

    What are the key differences between the two swings? What does the baseball player do to give him the timing and the directional adjustment to pitch location? Keying in on the differences will i believe bring forth some aha moments. Buttermaker, do you know golf also, enough...

    RVP connection point position

    OK, what happens at this point that makes it the position of "truth" And how come it looks so different in so many different swings? In some swings it is Stacked, and in some the forearm is more horizontal. Sometimes the hands never get over, or, in other words, the hands will lead the...

    Bustos

    I do not mind this clip of Bustos. Hands above ball, hands inside ball, keep hands loaded. can I see the proper way to see how to hit a ball above your neck? and inside. As a matter of fact, as I look at it, I was just teaching someone how to keep their head ball side of that...

    Hitting vs Pitching

    can someone explain why? pitching(fastpitch) is the same, or the differences, as hitting, in regards to the lower half? Our new coach is great hitter, good stats, and this IS what she teaches. Please feel free to not keep it simple.

    What do you mean by PUSH?

    I am stopping by and viewing some great swings by young ladies. I hear the word PUSH, being used by some to describe the swings they are looking at. I believe the word push. is not always a bad thing, but can be. ted Williams is quoted as saying the MLS is a hard push swing. I do not...

    Ball rotation gifs

    I am looking for the correct IR spin from a right handed pitcher. I saw one somewhere with the black stripe on the ball. thanks. The information in this forum is incredible. I am getting a bit paranoid that it will all disappear, before it can be compiled, and made into a book.
