I'll do my best now to leave this site or at least the hitting up to you to shill for TM. Not promising anything.
I ain't 'shilling' anything. Talk about someone 'shilling'.

Point out the thread on THIS site that you ever posted your DD's swing when Rich was a member of this site.
I know I wasn't a member and I know Breezy wasn't a member.

We have all seen the gurus come and go, The Howard Carriers and the Charlie Laus of the world, Some of their instruction has been proved to be NOT SO GOOD.

The latest guru seem to be Richard Schenck, His snap the barrel rearward and his supination are all the craze right now

My findings:

Rich Schenck advocates a supination of the top hand and forearm, What I found is trying to relay this info to a youth is very difficult, What they end up doing is laying the bat down and getting a much steeper angle than desired. The wrist and forearms should not supinate before adduction, The wrist I should say should not supinate.

The top wrist should remain strong. The hitters I worked with all had a upper cut swing and I feeling of being back on their rear leg such an extreme that they felt as if they were spinning out on the rear leg. The barrel works down to the ball. But on an upward incline and contact is made as the elbow is working up to the front shoulder.

The focus on sending the barrel rearward is causing problems also. The angle is to steep and they tend to supinate the top hand wrist which causes the barrel to flatten and get extremely long to the ball. Faster pitching up and in eats them alive when they do this.

You should not force supination of focus on it, You should not focus on being 1 legged or focus on it,


My findings are the rear heel is usually off the ground just before launch. Is this not a sign of the rear leg being unweighted?

Adduction and lateral tilt are happening before supination.

Conclusion: Focus on being 1 legged and supinating at launch is wrong.

Launch is not supination, Supination is not launch.

Kids that I worked with got much better results not focusing on the steep barrel..not focusing on supinating the top hand.

We obtained better results with the feeling of staying above the ball and the wrist remaining strong and being reactive after launch.

Not swinging down...not chopping but a feeling of taking the bat down to the ball. Not focusing on " SNAP " of the barrel rearward and swinging over the wall. The barrels simply got to steep that way!

Possibly this works for kids over 16 Im not sure

Lets go back to the member who started the thread. D up who is now Breezy1. I didn't bring up TM nor does he need me to SHILL for him. Everyone else seems to do a better job then me.....

RD, I posted BB's swing on this site and others. I went back and deleted all of them. You can believe it or not. Kenny, FFS, and others know that she was posted here, BBD, BBF and HSBBW. Then again, why would I have to prove anything to you? How about you post what the heck you coach. Not what you shill. How about what you actually teach your dd. Instead of posting what you think someone else does, how about your experience with your kid. There is video of BB on this site. Post your dd. If you want to get this started then lets get after it.

All this because I don't answer your PM's.....
I've posted my DD a lot of times.
