Look at this demo bottom one..... His thought is not to turn the barrel as quick as he can. He turns his legs, waist spine, shoulders, then releases the bat head...........That is the swing I teach.....

Early bat speed, bat blurring out behind hitter, applying torque to the handle at go......

Core driven swing.

Not the teacherman..... release the bat head first like rdbass, and fiveframeswing preach. That turns into a arm swing when the hands pass the back stripe of the pants....Those hitters cant clear the infield...I fix those kind of hitter all the time that were taught those mechanics...

See it, feel it, then fix it.... That is the motto we work towards...

I was ignoring you until you brought me into this.
Please post the MATRIX again. Let's see how that worked out for your student/students.
I guess it's time to advertise to try and get some new student that need a ceiling.

Please post were I ever said 'release the bat head first'.

And we have this little gem posted by straightleg:
Straightleg posted:I don't teach a CORNER.I see her loading around the corner, which then takes a person's body longer of a time to get to box.
I would do more of a straight back hand load, and bat a little taller, which will promote straight through the ball.
Also loading around the corner pulls your eyes off the pitch

Teaching a swing without a CORNER sounds like teaching just a contact swing/Band-Aid.........

Might want to re-think that one again. Sounds like from the ground up swing to me and that makes for a longgggg swing.
That is the swing I teach
I don't doubt that.....

Check...it's all there......not what I would teach but, then again I'm not a BIG time hitting instructor like you.
Here you can make this your signature:
Wrecking one swing at a time in Ohio.

Bustos herself was a very good hitter ..... but her instruction in this video is aweful.

A good example of how those that are accomplished don't necessarily make the best instructors.
