Why is it every time you seem to get into an altercation with someone you bring in a video of Straightlegs DD? Do you really not have any of your supposed students? Just asking. I know it has been asked before and I guess it needs to be asked again. Where are your students??? I have watched on here a lot and have posted on here quite a bit and it really seems that you have a problem with Howards teachings. I know I know you will say you don't....but all of your video arguments has some form of Howards teaching in it and Straightlegs DD in it. Well get your "students" on here for a change.
I know you will now attack me and ask me for my students and I will tell you I have none! I simply have my 2 DD's and I am just a dad trying to teach my kids the best I can without all the rubbish that seems to go along with much of what you have to say. Don't get me wrong there are some things that you have posted on here that I really like but my god why do you always go back to Straightlegs DD???? I think you have worn that one out....Please move on. The female body is different then the male body.....sorry it is a fact.....you may not have realized it but it is a fact and you cannot hide from it as long as you want to but it will not change the facts no matter how much you want it to.
I am not trying to start anything with you I am just throwing out my two cents worth and just saying some on here is tired of your obvious effort to undermine both Howard and Straightleg. You can deny it all you want but it is old and obvious. Please move on!!!
Mkral, thank you for throwing out your two cents. I respect that.
As an FYI, SL has made these demonstrations widely available. I believe they have been posted at HI, BBD, EH, here, and probably other locations. In some cases they have been posted on multiple occasions. My point is that the demonstrations are fairly well spread across the Internet. IMO, the criticism you refer to here is relatively tame in comparison.
IMO SL’s demonstrations have key flaws in them, that if actually mimic’d, and learned, would not have the positive consequences that I hope are desired.
Cshilt is highlighting the point that the swing as demonstrated can negatively impact a hitter’s inside/outside plate coverage … and he is correct … but the issue with what is being demonstrated goes well beyond that.
As for the female body being different …. My comment back to you is to recognize that many high level instructors consider the male swing and female swing to be virtually identical, and that you think twice before not learning what you can from those at the highest level of the sport.
As for your two DDs …. Enjoy them and the journey. It can provide memories for a lifetime. The more successful they are, the more you’ll enjoy the journey … best wishes with it!
