For the last time---- The swing path of the hitters you have referenced has nothing to do with the BASEBALLANCE. You may not agree with the swing path being correct, but they work to develop that swing path in an attempt to prevent their swings from getting long. Long before the BASEBALLANCE, it was not uncommon to see hitters work a double tee drill where the one in the back was higher than the one in the front. The objective was to hit the front ball without hitting the back one. Again, you may not agree with that concept or what it teaches, but I know that each of these hitters has performed that drill FROM FLAT GROUND without the BASEBALLANCE. I also know that others have developed devices (one was endorsed by Ken Griffey, Jr.) that teach that swing path. STOP trying to convince others that the BASEBALLANCE creates that swing--- it absolutely has NOTHING to do with it. Those hitters were taught that swing path.
And how do you know what the game swing of any of these hitters looks like? I can assure you that the drill I described above is a part of their daily routine, as is using the BASEBALLANCE (over the last 6 months) and whatever basis you have for claiming their game swing is different was obviously not negatively impacted by any of your claims.
If you are not a fan of the BASEBALLANCE it, ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. If you are using this discussion as a way to convince others that you know hitting, please ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. If you actually want to put a hitter on it, then make claims---that would make a lot more sense. No one that has ever actually used it with hitters had made a single claim regarding negative effects. That is a documented fact. Again, that list of people may surprise you. However, at this point, I do not want to tie them to this ridiculous banter back and forth. One thing I will say with absolute certainty is-- use it with one of your hitters and the swing path of the user will not be changed and will still resemble the exact work of art you have created.
