I purchased the Freak series. I have watched the "Seven Steps of Hitting", and the "Fix It". I am about 1/2 through "Workout Skills and Drills". If it is one thing I have learned it is to compare what is said with video of what actually happens. Unless Bustos actually swings her bat in the last 1/2 of "Workout Skills and Drills", I haven't seen any live swings in any of the 3 DVDs. The only live swing I have of Bustos is this gif:

I was hoping to see many live swings in at least one of these DVDs.

One thing I noticed right away comparing the above swing to the instruction in the DVD, is her "Building the Roof" comentary and how high her hand positioning is compared to this live swing.[/QUOTE]

Are you talking her hand path, grip or where she starts her hands?

I am talking about where she starts her hands. Like I said, I didn't see Bustos take any full swings in what I viewed so far. Did you see any full swings in the DVD set?

Two very different strides in the two clips. Usa uniform her stride is long. Neon uniform her stride is short with alot of hip bump... but the hand path looks the same

BP swings? She doesn't swing during practice like she swings in a game? It's counter to what we all tell our kids isn't it? Practice like you play. Practice at 100% and let game time take care of itself. It does look like she takes a different swing into BP and that is a hard sell to the kids that might pick up on that. What are your thoughts on that RD or anyone else for that matter?

Corrected my answer I forgot the question mark after my sentence. I don't know what Busto was doing during these swings. Maybe, working on something. Maybe, just loosing up before her "real" swing. Someone asked about seeing some Busto swings.
On this swing looks like it went far by the looks of the people behind her.

If you talk to her the USA uniform swing, was baiting a pitcher to throw a rise ball. She hit it out of the park! She will be the first to point out that you cannot take a video and post it as her swing, unless you know what she intended on that pitch! Many on here post video's and have no idea what the hitting is trying to accomplish! Just as bad as the media taking things that people say out of context and posting them!
