I'm not here to join the war and pick a side... I'm just saying that I am not seeing the hitters emulate what some of the instructors are teaching. If I show my DD a video of some of these instructors and what they are asking their students to do (I posted a video and time in the video of the instruction earlier in the thread), she will literally try to do that in her swing..
RDBass is right in what he is saying that Manny does turn the barrel .... but it does not seem all forearms and hands to me, it seems like the elbow folding under the pinched scap plays a big part in turning that barrel.
In the end I want to instruct my DD and give her the best advice, not join this pissing contest
All these years and you still don't know how to post a gif/video. NOTHING can be learned from a still picture......just saying that's SAD.You release the barrel at different times in the swing. Not bop the catcher in the head like FFS and Rdbass promote... They don't give instruction to hitters for feedback. Only their own daughters
FFS's daughter batted .086 her freshman year and got cut or quit after her freshman year.... Sad...Stick with proven information from instructors who have had success with given hitting instruction to multiple hitters...
Rdbass only works with his own daughter which is fine, but to dish out information like he is an expert with out working with any hitters for positive feedback is in my mind criminal. Why ruin other hitters without knowing what you and FFS dish out for information as something that actually works from real live date from hitters you work with.... I find it sad for parents.
Inside pitch you rotate more before barrel release. You use the core to turn more before the release of the bat head. Look at how far bonds rotates towards the pitcher before barrel release. Please don't take the advise of bopping the catcher on the head (RIGHT NOW) like rdbass and FFS promote. That nonsense does not happen in a MLB swing

...I didn't know that I had to post a resume to offer my thoughts, impressions, and opinion here, and I suppose I shouldn't be posting here either then...because I've never charged for a hitting lesson which apparently disqualifies me. Shoot, and I was having so much fun.I didn't know in order to respond on DFP hitting threads I needed to be a paid hitting instructor. Such as straightleg.
Oh my, my....

I need to instruct hitters in order to get feed back on whether I know what I'm teaching is correct, I guess. I guess having a DD playing softball in college isn't good enough 'feedback'. Who knew.....Rdbass promote... They don't give instruction to hitters for feedback. Only their own daughters
