Help me understand loading the barrel since it's a phrase being used here.

From Donny Busters presentation on the Bottom Hand:

Mentally extend that thumb up 33 inches and imagine how far the barrel accelerated as the hand turn to flat.

 

[Howe]

All of that movement just to get her hands to the same GO position as below:

Follow along with the non-sense.

This is the clip that Fatboy say's I'm claiming:

When I distinctly said:

All of that movement just to get her hands to the same GO position as below:

So why would Fatboy purposely use the wrong clip? And then why would he claim I'm doctoring clips?

From Donny Busters presentation on the Bottom Hand:

So starting with a "near vertical" bottom hand gets the barrel in a loaded position?

For some, yes. But hand-set is individual. Vertical is easy to use as a learning position.

Absolute GARBAGE!

But this,,, and the way the kid is performing the drill is very good. Do you know why?

I see two things:
1) He is loading his hands as he is tipping the barrel towards the pitcher.
2) He is taking a hand path to the ball as he is turning them to get the barrel to the ball.

Bingo!!! Negative load toward the pitcher/positive load @ GO.

#2 is where the meat and potatoes are. Even though the positive barrel load from that exaggerated tip is BIG, this hitter DOES NOT sit back and just "turn the barrel". His hands are getting the handle to the RELEASE point WHILE the barrel is being loaded. Therefore he is still able to get to the INSIDE seam of the ball with some semblance of a hinge angle.

This is the 2 competing priorities of the hands. And it creates quick, educated hands.

Do not worry about the scap with the young one... Just make sure her core/lower back are controlling the bat twirl she has. Start out more stacked and allow the middle (cat/cow) to control the rest.

Do Not do this garbage... This is nothing but a sequence killer..
