Free Hands

[Mike-Coach Q]

Fairly good example of the differences between free hands ("down to") vs turning the barrel.

timing and adjustability I’m all in. HLP doesn’t stop a hitter from making adjustments . The timing of when to do it And by not using the arms.

So You support free hands vs stuck behind a corner ? How do you put anything on the ball when doing it from one leg ?

What if you are no stride and don't lift the front foot?

Do you still get FYB with no stride

 

[julray]

These swings are exactly the same in how Bo gets FYB

To be fair, he was responding to this :

The key is getting your front foot UP on time and understanding how to control your forward movement.

and probably focusing on the first statement

To be fair, he was responding to this:

but I believe he said his DD is currently using no stride.. you still need to start on time and control your movement forward with no stride.. I was trying to show that in the side by side with Bo., same controlled movement

Just curious who promotes being "stuck behind a corner". As stated numerous times in the past, I am not an HLP guy. There are aspects of that philosophy I disagree with. That said, I don't know of anyone that promotes getting stuck. If someone is getting stuck, they are not doing it correctly. I do not remember seeing any posts from Mike stating that he is teaching Haley how to get "stuck".

FP26, You know as well as I do who promotes swinging (ttb) from behind a corner off one leg and who Mike tries to follow..

Here are a couple examples.

Here is AJ blowing past the corner from 2 legs and pushing it according to the HLP pattern.

Swinging from behind a corner and getting stuck behind a corner are two completely different things.
