Virtually any movement pattern will work, the question is to what degree.
To me the swing gifs are 'similar'(having a likeness or resemblance, especially in a general way) that was the reason for the comparison.My point is one should look at a similar movement pattern when making comparisons.
Can you explain the bold above further. I don't think that is even possible to ' create the stretch and pulse actions without using the rear leg/hip as the driver'.Originally Posted by TDS
The 2 movement patterns aren't compatible. If you're trying to match Brooke's actions
Put yourself inside her skin and try to create the stretch and pulse actions without using the rear leg/hip as the driver.
It is true that getting through the ball becomes easier as you become bigger and stronger.
Sorry, I don't know all your terms, but....what is the 'extra stretch'?
We had a whole thread on this. You said it doesn't matter if you go through the ball....are you changing your mind, or am I out of context?
I just wanted to explain what it was I was seeing... Gif one is the game swing that you pointed me towards. Gif two obviously is the tee swing we have been looking at. I see more shoulder turn in the tee swing than I do in the game swing. And I believe this is due to how focused she is on the ball. Her chin is down and her eyes are focused down, instead of at the pitcher as they are in the game swing. Since she seems to like to have her front shoulder near her chin, she needs to rotate her shoulders more in order to get the shoulder there. This in turn leads to additional hand movement in the tee swing that I don't see in the game swing (granted it is difficult to see in that gif). Why I point this out is because I don't think the extra hand movement is really part of her normal swing, but a byproduct of her shoulder rotation. If you asked her to focus her eyes on a fictitious pitcher, and then "watch" the ball come in to the tee, I am suggesting that you would see less shoulder turn and less overall hand movement. Just a theory, mind you....
Added - just from a "hands" perspective, I think the game swing is better than the tee swing.
Nice observations, FP26. Thanks. I know she focuses a lot on being quick to contact when she is in the box. Her TB coach prefers that she not stride, also (I'm not fighting that at the moment).
EDIT: Looking through a couple of videos of game swings taken from the front side, you are correct. Her hands aren't pushing rearward the same way as she does on the recent tee swing. However, some different issues exist.
