Thx again RD for .gif.... I can see the Bata Sharping on my Video processing work flow, set @ lowest setting really worked. Showed up in your .gif :cool:
Not to complain, but the tire was po-poped on here. I was wanting to show, that the ball is hitting, just under the line.

*Was hoping to get some feedback on the Swing from YOU...

This isn't from this swing in the clip... but same (SWING)...from last weekend...

I prefer side views....
I would have like to see a little more 'negative move'/coil. Just look at the Under Armor logo very little movement back towards catcher. I would have like to see FBC. Your DD gets on top of her rear leg. I would like to see your DD more 'into'/against her rear leg. I also would have like to see the rear elbow not 'glued' to your DD's side. Rear elbow needs to get through freely. Also swing looks a little flat/level to the ground. DD needs a little more extension. Looks to be hitting 'around' her body and not 'out from' her body. DD looks good but, can look better.

***Thank You Sir !!! I'll get the side views !!! :cool:

I can see now, I didn't have the set up correct either... you know the excuse... take a few cuts after a grueling pitching re~set practice... LOL

You know I'm working on getting you to endorse it being put in the ModelSwing Sticky... Maybe Next Year... :rolleyes:

EP: sorry but what is FBC ???

Would be nice to see a side view but I think the get "into/against" her rear leg instead of "onto/over" her rear leg is really good advice.

It also looks like she is not getting good separation but its hard to tell with the angle; it's OK and just a style thing to have the exaggerated bat angle pointing at the pitcher but her back/negative move can't just be elbow up and flexing wrist so bat points to pitcher. I would love to see her incorporate some backwards movement of the hands (again hard to tell because of angle) but does not look like much now, also as she comes back maybe she could keep the hands just a little lower, I know it is a style thing but it does look like it is causing her some problems because if you look when she starts moving her hands her first movement is not forward it is down (because her hand are too high) and back (because she did not get enough separation).

FBC=Forward by coil

A couple of the cues I use with hitters about the rear hip coil...
- Squeeze your zipper towards your thigh
- Turn your right rear pocket (for RH batters) towards the pitcher

Both of these can be seen in the clip above.

Her sequence is off. Look at the timing of her bat tip compared with Hamilton in the FBC clip. She tips, then strides. Hammy is tipping as he strides.
