on the journey
Thanks. I understand the concept. I am just of the mind that there isn't as much rubber band action happening as people think. When we stretch our bodies it doesn't snap back to position 1. It's not like a Stretch Armstrong toy. i get that there certainly is that fascia happening, but i am not sure it is a the ultimate force that creates the power of the swing. Will it help make people elite, sure, maybe. But if i can get my DD into a position that is athletic and comfortable and allows her to put the barrel on the ball consistently. That is what i am after.Lol I understand....... maybe think of it as under your skin you are encased in a wetsuit........ By moving parts of the body it will pull on other parts. This creates tension, if there are anchors in place. When the body is at rest there is slack in the suite but when we stride, walk, run etc..... this creates tension within the body.... this wetsuit is stretched and fights to get back to its state of rest. We can leverage that tension and use it to our advantage if done correctly ie. “the sequence”

I guess i relate it to the Auburn hop. maybe it's not auburn. Or a tennis player serve receive. There seems to be some benefit to activating the 'muscles' for a lack of a better term, before making a movement decision as it takes the slack out of the system.
I think that there is probably more to be said about getting muscles tensed up and fired like an isolation movement right before launch. I just don't think there is as much benefit to 'stretching the fascia' just because i don't feel anything snapping back from that position. I am more of the mind to be fired up and ready to launch. If i am taking out slack, i would try to twist my whole body as far in the opposite direction as possible.
I dont see any of these players getting to the end of their range of motion before launch. just IMHO.
