Aaron Judge lost it when he realized (as well as pitchers) his pattern wouldn't allow for him to hit pitches up and in.. His patten lacked adjustability. The body whips the barrel not the rear leg/hands in the high level swing.

He lost his coil. He lost the fusion he had earlier in the year. That fusion allowed him to move dynamically. It's not the other way around. The body whipping the barrel is long. The hands snap the barrel.

Good to see you posting again.

Yes the hands are part of the momentum transfer.

Considering that the hands are connected to the bat they are the prime mover of the barrel. Get good at turning the barrel and your body will support that goal. Anything else is late and slower. Bonds is the best example of hands being in charge and his body supporting. He even choked up on the bat so his hands could work better.

Which is why not one hitter can duplicate his pattern. The core pattern allows for the hands to be free (not locked or assigned) until needed.

Well if not one hitter can duplicate his pattern how do you know what you are professing to be correct is correct?

Well then you must make the tool with the weight on the pvc pipe to train the hands to turn the barrel!

Ah, no thank you.. If you think for a minute Bonds is attempting to crank the barrel behind him (towards the catcher) your not watching the same video I am.. Now if you were to say the barrel from the tipped position is being released behind him (not towards the catcher) then we may have some common ground..
