Oh man, I remember when "dump" was used as a boogeyman against HPP. Of course, the pre-dominant model when I started reading these boards (7 or so years ago!) was "connect and spin." There were quite a few "experts" who used the unchanging hinge angle as evidence that the hands were dead.

Another good one........Load and unload vs Loading on around. On the right you cannot tell where the load ends and the swing begins.....Seamless......
Thanks. By the way, there was some discussion of Correa a few pages ago. What Correa does is a lot like what Adam Jones does (did?, I haven't seen video of his swing in probably 4 years). They both kinda turn the barrel, but they both pull way more with the lead arm than someone like Cabrera/Judge.
Notice the back knee/leg starts flexed, extends and then flexes again.
Yes, this is the best way to describe it I think. Old swing he loads "back" holds it unloads out of it. New swing it never stops moving around the arc.

How would you know if the one "old swing" is representative of his typical swing?
Matranga's agency took TM to the All-Star festivities in Miami. So...
The uptick drill, I don't really believe in it's purpose, but I did see Judge do it. Or at least something close to it.
