Don't take RDBass so serious. At first I thought he was trying to be rude and deliberatly unhelpful too. He posts some good GIFs though.

He doesn't have to try to be rude, he just is rude sometimes. Yes he does post a lot of useful info and is very helpful. Other times you can remove the RDB and you are left with what he acts like

I go away for a while to come back and find guys like RDBASS who get blasted on a regular basis by Richard are now on here watching his every move and acting as if he invented hitting and/or we havent already seen EXACTLY what he teaches.

You went away for a while? You joined DFP today.

If you were actually paying attention - instead of just chiming in to slam RDB - you might recognize that he has been following Rich for a very long time, and subscribes to a lot of what Rich teaches. Nothing wrong with that. For some people, Rich's approach makes sense. To others, not as much.

Love how you wrote ... "I see a tight pivot."

Now you may better appreciate why I don't use the terms "Shift AND Swing" or "Shift THEN Swing", but instead use the term "Pivot the Swing".

Yeah, I know the ELVIS. I don't focus on the knee doing any thing.

'Pushing back' or loosing balance on rear leg.
I'm just posting different gif from different GURUS.

The girl you posted has a nice coil, the hips get out in front of the back knee/leg. This hitter isn't showing the same coil.
