I really don't know the 'result' of this gif.
but, from the gifs I've seen look the 'same';

He's a 'circular'.....

Look at the timing of toe touch and his back elbow dropping.

Here's Conforto in college:

That swing 'down swing'.

That's a hitter swing with no posture or lateral tilt.. Thanks for this because it's a perfect example or what people think of when picturing "Down to". And they are wrong.

You add lateral tilt and ask this hitter to maintain their posture throughout the swing with a FYB sequence, MLB swing without even contemplating TTB.

Toe touch is a pass through position. What do you see as the importance of it?

You forgot to say that Conforto couldnt carry Bonds or Pujols jockstrap!

All kidding aside, I was out on the tee yesterday and today after watching the AROD youtube channel video with barry bonds, And I finally understand the "down to" feel! Bonds says very confusingly and in way more words that he does the "down to" feel off the tee, hitting the ball into the ground, because its easy to just tilt and hit a dinger. I think this is where a majority of players are lost because they arent tilting naturally. (Watch 7:00-8:30ish in the AROD video not sure how to embed it on my phone)

It's tilt. Barry didnt say tilt. Pujols doesnt say tilt(he does talk about posture). They beat around the bush about it.

Thanks to everyone on both sides (and in the middle) for being so stubborn.(especially julray)

Easy to be stubborn when your sources are the best hitters in the game.. . To be honest, I think everybody else is stubborn, I'm not the one arguing with the best hitters in the game LOL[/QUOTE]

Timing is inconsistent between the GIFs and video. In the first GIF his elbow is dropping before toe touch, but not in other GIFs and video I can find. It is also IMHO the only one where it looks like he is actively "torqueing". It looks to me like he was either fooled or checked.

IS this TTB?
