Nice one. This is really good. In a lot of ways.
The message is don't use the big muscles to rotate, but contract the obliques against the hips and hip extension should happen reactively.

Agree. I think there is confusion there.
And this encroaches on the coaching realm slightly. My opinion is The hips will never be slow (unless your an out of shape 35 y/o semi-cripple). Get that bat speeding forward because that is the slowest part. The hips will never be slow. not rotation. Extension. If the bat isn't there the reaction is to begin to extend to get the bat there.
No. Back foot typically scissors due to a closed stride. The torso has to get out of the way to have a hand path to the ball when the stride is slightly across. This causes the back foot to scissor. Not every time but most of the time.Just curious.. does your back foot scissor?
Not for me, anchoring the back foot causes me to scissor.No. Back foot typically scissors due to a closed stride. The torso has to get out of the way to have a hand path to the ball when the stride is slightly across. This causes the back foot to scissor. Not every time but most of the time.
Just watching MLBers it seems the majority that scissor stride across. If I focus hard on keeping my back foot down I do feel some scissor. But nothing like some MLBersNot for me, anchoring the back foot causes me to scissor.
Of course, I don’t mean anything extremeJust watching MLBers it seems the majority that scissor stride across. If I focus hard on keeping my back foot down I do feel some scissor. But nothing like some MLBers
