Are you seriously comparing those 2 clips as being the same?????

 

[Doug Romrell]

If Cabrera were hitting a ball off that tee, the tee would end up in left-center field...

I am saying Manny stays above the tee. Also, there are 3 clips, so I'll talk real slow from here out!

NOPE! The end of his barrel would be below the tee, but never the spot that contacts the ball.

That tee is like 6 inches below the ball! How low do you guys want to dump the barrel?

 

[Doug Romrell]

I want the barrel behind the ball traveling on the path of the pitch for at least a few inches. I believe the odds off hitting the ball well are increased by doing this. And, I don't consider it dumping.

The end of that angled bar??? The end of that angled bar isn't 6 inches below the ball.

 

[CoogansBluff]

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but looks to me like Miggy would smack that Alabama tee before hitting the ball.

 

[Doug Romrell]

I think this gal would hit that tee to the outfield due to hitting that angled bar barrier before hitting the ball.

This gal's barrel travels up and out immediately after contact. The two girls using that tee in the clips you posted above are swinging down through the ball and the barrel continues to travel downward before going up and out. Seems to me that the odds of making solid contact would be lower with this approach, particularly given the varying speeds of pitches.

You don't see a lot of swings like this with the batter getting fully extended and yet the barrel remains perpendicular to the ball.

Push it .... push it hard.
