That is a nice swing. Very good/great stretching through the torso, opens the hips that allows for the stretch across the torso to happen. Very nice.

2 Legged hitting. With the weight shifting to the front side. May be a bigger player can get away with this style of hitting. Not my style. JMHO.

Now is he using "two legs" in both? Of course, but hopefully you're able to see why in one his weight in greater on his one/rear leg, compared to how it's shifted over both/two legs in the other. That's basically the difference in thoughts/terminology of a "two-legged" hitter on the left, and a "one-legged" hitter on the right. At least how I look at the terms when presented to me anyway.

I believe this girl shifts but not across the pelvis which allows both legs to be reactive at go time.

While this guy appears to transfer across the pelvis and then swings.

Im guessing thats not his normal swing and he is fooled by that pitch.

This hitter shifts weight from rear leg to front leg. Pause...even shows when the 'shift' of weight starts.

If this swing is your model then have at it.....just not one I would use. Again JMHO.

bass, I don't beleive she gives up the rear leg/hip relationship until commitment (go time). If she did she would lunge (shift across the pelvis) like the other hitter. The pause was only used to show she hadn't transferred across until comittment. I know you follow Rich and his exclusive use of the rear leg and neither of these patterns match Rich's..
