I really like this perspective of Ueno's running start:

Thanks PC!

I see what starts out looking like a rolling start: with the weight of the hips rolling back onto the stride heel. She starts to roll forward, but at "Go!" she forcefully hits the gas with the stride leg followed by the drive leg in a bang-bang sequence. I could watch this gif a thousand times!



Welcome... but FFS posted the view from behind, but it had the fielders head in the way...& I wanted to see feet too...so I went to enlarge it by clicking watch it on the You-Tube Channel. Once there it had a bunch of her other video's to the right...started watching to find a back view without the head, fence ect...and found this... :cool:

Its her out in the field warming up... nothing to push off of. I see why she wears knee brace, I think the twitch in the knee is an invitation to bring the hip to the elbow... and was focusing on her landing foot, and follow thru.

Yep...1000 times... like Ricks

One of my favorite gifs! It's missing a few frames at the beginning and end that I think help tell the story. It does show a stride foot drive and a weightless drive foot. An awesome example of using both legs to Push Push.
