DBSFA-(Drop-Barrel-Swing-Flat-Anonymous) a FFF thread

[Eric F]

Got it ... "droppy flingy" = dbsf.

I recall someone also calling it a "faulty leveling process".

That's what it is.

FYI ... the 'early & slow' in this swing is quite good. That alone will have this girl tagging a good deal of pitchers.

So we hit for a bit last night...

All of our tee work was done with my new wooden bat...focus was simple: keep the hands above the ball.

So going way back in this thread, when everyone seemed to be throwing the full arsenal of tips and suggestions at me, I believe FFS mentioned about too much rotation in the shoulders and he referenced a Doc Yeager video...

I'm posting this swing not so much because she keeps her hands high but her extension through the ball and lesser shoulder rotation has improved so much from the start of this IMO it's not even funny. I know the world is watchig her hands and barrel path but I think it's important to recognize all of the other stuff that has been fixed along the way.

Oh...and she literally hits line drives on 80% of what's pitched to her too...we didn't get 80% line drives off a tee 6 weeks ago...

Here is one of many balls squared up (I picked this one because I like the little pump movement she's added on her own - her cue of working the bat back and up as she moves to toe touch)

I want to thank everyone for the positive PM's and emails...CP

I'm excited for you both. You've worked your tails off and made some difficult changes in a very short time.

Great Job! Keep it going.

Thanks!

At the end of the day though...

We would not have made the progress we have made in such a short time without your guidance...

Can't thank you enough...CP

I like the live pitch overlap, just "rock the u" a bit more

Thanks!

Overlap did not exist a few weeks ago...another thing that many observers of this thread overlook...CP

And to the over the top parents out there...no yelling...

I've raised my voice to her 3x's during this...ONLY to encourage her when she would get down a bit over the same repeated "not-so-good-pattern"

Keep it positive!

You can swing absolutely perfect but there needs to be a strength and athletic factor involved. The pattern is OK but in every video I've seen with this swing is it lacks strength and athleticism. This swing is in desperate need of exactly that. This swing could be perfect and it wouldn't make a difference. Somehow this is often not factored in.

I like how the carpet mat slides forward as she makes contact.
