45 degree snf! Your rear side hip is already leading before you swing. Get coiled around, turn the barrel, and the only thing that can happen (well unless you work hard at rotating the upper...a push) is the rear hip pullin' and sling shoting the swing.

I like this drill, just one to have in the bag for teaching a feeling

Like I said you dont know how to teach it, or understand how we do it. It is not front heel down, rear heal up, not even close.

I don't teach the Elvis but, I do understand how 'you' teach it.

Elbows-knob-box- remember the Elvis move, front foot heel plants, back foot lifts with pressure on the big toe and toe next to it, and Elvis drives the shoulders!

Not trying to start trouble just trying to show that I understand the Elvis and how it is taught.

Never seen this before.. I dont teach it this way. I do use the ground up, and pressure from the pad and big toe of the rear foot.
I dont focus at all on front foot heel plant. I am more flexed front knee landing softly.

So no you dont know how I teach it, but I guess you know me better than I do



Just a FYI
If this is something Howard typed and you saved it to your computer, I guess he was trying to explain the matrix to someone. I have watched many a lesson with him, and casey has had many a lesson and he talks about using the pad and big toe to get off the back side , but never heard him say anything about focusing on getting the front foot heel planted.
If he typed this then you would have to pm him for an explanation on this

Your right I don't know how you teach it. My mistake but, I do know how Howard C. did teach it. The info is right from him.
I have the hand out from a clinic.
Then if you care to please explain the Elvis move that you keep referring to or is a secret?

Sorry but I have to ask, what is snf? I looked on the boards but cannot figure out what that means??

Practice loading the hands very slowly until the hip starts to go then no thinking just let it rip.

When the bat is taller the bat will release a little more underneath, it will make you drive more through the ball and the finish of the swing will look and feel better.

I stand by this for the original poster, dont want to hyjack your thread, sorry...

SL,
You never seen this information and it is incorrect. No I've never meet Howard but, we have exchanged PM's.
