AROD fights back

Some of my teaching evaluation scores/comments, coupled with this comment, must mean you have skipped my posts about physics...

You are the exception, the outlier, ...lol

Hand initially down to the ball, let me rephrase that.. hands initially to the ball/incoming pitch, which is normally a downward pattern.. I see it in almost every great hitters swing.. and yes the barrel gets turned at some point in the swing as well. When most of the pros demo they are imagining a ball on the tee below the belt. JD is one of the few that demoed how to hit a high pitch.

Might wont to rethink that......
Barrel down too the ball not the hands.

No thanks.. I see what I see, not what I choose to believe
Edit: The barrel will react appropriately

Yep, it shows.....

Hands initially down to ball.. barrel reacting appropriately by turning around an oily pivot point



Yes, the hands don't obviously hit the ball(That's why I said initially) and they stay above.. barrel swivels around the hands(pivot point into the ball)... no awkward movement of forcing to TTB from start necessary.

Yes it does show..

Putting the words hands down to the ball could lead to some bad mess. I would say hands down to the arm pit, but that of course is dependent on where the hands start from.

If this guys hands go down to the ball we got problems.

Personally I like batters to start with the hands right at the arm pit. There is no down to from that position. It is adjust posture to pitch height, TTB, and Crush it.

Impossible to go down when the pitch is already at hands level .. that's why I like "hands to the incoming pitch"... most of the time that's down.
