One of the issues I can't get past with this demonstration - and many of those posted by TM - is the action of the rear leg and how the rear foot is moving as a result. It doesn't match with what I see happening at the rear foot of Trout, Pujols, Cabrera, Correa, Turner, Donaldson, etc., etc. There are some videos of Bonds spinning on a weighted foot like that, but others he doesn't.

Part of that may be that these are dry swings with no intent of hitting a ball as hard as you can. It would seem that the force of a full swing, with a leg SNAP like TM preaches, would make it difficult to actually spin like that and not come up on the toe like you are seeing with the hitters you mentioned. Even Judge, who has similar actions as this kid, comes up on his toe without that spinning action.

At least 5. I'm Rocky Balboa. Now please address the torso not moving forward and the heel just spinning please.

Ps. Only thing you've proven is how blurry and thick those rose covered glasses are. :)

Send him right over! I need a spider killed!
You were insulating 'squish the bug'. Were you not. So...now it's SPINNING. OK...keep moving the goal line there Rocky.
Now when others pile on and tell you it's crap. Don't go running away again Rich
Not running any where. You might be 'punch drunk' and need to stay down.
IT'S A DRILL FOR A FEEL. That's what might be lost on you and every one else.


Added:

I hope you don't think you're debating TM. I'm not that smart nor good.

Look it's spinning which can lead to squish the bug. That's weak. You know what I mean. Sits on the barstool spins. Weight on the back leg so he squishes . He's all forward because he's pinching his shoulder blade against back. No resistance . GIF looks just like Judges game swing.

Question: Is he holding the bat like that so he doesn't dump? Did Kole Calhoun get a new instructor after his worst start in the history of the MLB? Should send Scott and Ian over to his NEW instructor asap.

Tell me why this is a bad drill, bad hitter. Remember I have rose colored glasses and I don't SEE WHAT YOU APPARENTLY SEE.

Or ask your buddy to tell you what to say. I don't care . I just want to laugh REALLY hard.

Is this drill falling off the cliff? Falling off the barstool ? Or fallen off his rocker??? Tell grandpa his days are numbered . Lol

Is this your comment for this guy.

My buddy....I'm on my own I don't have any friends on this site. You should at least know that.
If I had a 'buddy' we both would be laughing real hard at YOU.......please keep going.....

It's a joke that I'm not going to let you in on the 'punch line' ROCKY.

We... me and my invisible buddy got a little laugh out of this also..

Spinning and squishing the bug are very different. So, I don't know ' what you mean'.

I know , just like turn the barrel was different to you . I had to splain to you . Then you membered. You just wanna play games . I'm not up for that . I wanted to hear what the drills were for. Cause you said it's a feel drill. My head is spinning now. You have squished my hopes of knowing. Don't get it twisted though. I wanted to know the 'feel drill' so I could laugh . But your either not sharing or you don't know. Ok. I guess I'll have to watch the Marlins play if I wanna laugh now. Have a nice day.
