FYB clarification

Found this.

Yep that looks like it. It's an interesting swing. Looks like very little "oblique stretch"

Not tryin to play gotcha. I think getting the bat out in front asap is a good feel. Obliques first syncs everything up.

At foot down there seems to be a ton of oblique stretch.

I think oblique stretch is a great feel to get the upper moving faster so the lower can "react" faster.

He has so much hip flexion until its time to hit.

I think "obliques first" is a great feel. To speed the bat out in front so the hips can pull the handle back.

He is not pushing with the front leg, its pulling.(watch closley his knee almost hyperextends)

I know he doesn’t tip as much, but the first person that came to my mind when I seen her swing is Accuna

during hip flexion do you believe the obliques are loaded eccentrically?

What do you mean by pulling? This is one thing i have to try, actively 'whatever' with front leg. DD has trained hard to create front side resistance in pitching to stop forward momentum so that the arm becomes ballistic ( i think i butchered the correct usage of that - sorry BoardMember). I asked DD is she actively pushed with her front leg during hitting and she said yes. Not sure if she really knows tho. I tried and think i felt the push and the hip going back.

I think FFS always showed pictures (maybe RDBass, cant recall) where there was a line drawn down the front hip, and if the hip moved forward after heel down, the batter was posting up. So that is something i have tried to watch in DD's swing.

I just never really understood the Oblique vs legs discussion. I assume this 'pulling' you mention goes back to that conversations. just thought i would ask.

I mean his hamstrings and the back of his body in general is/are dominating there.

And ya Ww they do that i guess.

It is a strange/interesting looking swing you have to admit

The FYB is maintaining hip coil at toe touch and into footplant. I haven’t looked at the swing frame by frame, but she looks back in real time.
