High level swing and sequence gifs

[Playaction]

How about posting a gif and describing the full sequence. GIF may be too large for a full swing.-still learning. Hopefully, some will be softball.

I see a big knee cock to transfer weight and to coil hip.
He rides his back leg and falls forward while getting the stretch and tipping the bat. He maintains the coil and it appears that he coils a bit more while falling forward.
His front foot blocks and he turns the barrell behind the corner. IOW-His hips fire followed by his upper body. Good extension.

Am I close? Fire away.

I think some might have issue with the falling forward part. There is some debate about this, but unloading into a blocked front foot sounds like a "shift then swing sequence", which is decried by some. Once you have fallen forward, the corner has bled, and you will come over the top.

Some call it staying back, others, one leggendess, others still, dynamic balance... I think you can get a feel for it in the following clip. The guy on the left is good.

How about hovers and I guess for the front leg-resistance
How would you describe the sequence of the guy on the left?

Bautista doesn't land with a blocked front foot. If anything it's open more than the norm.

Another Howard reference. Where the core pulse is engaging the hips.

Not what I was referring to. Guess I used the wrong term. I actually see some hitters land on their big toe (front leg still turned in) because their hips are still coiled and then the front foot rotates open when the hips fire.

What do you mean by this?

The core drives the swing while the legs support vs legs then the hips. Look at the core actions of Bonds. The core actions engage the legs.

This thread will wonder all over the place, but still possible for good info, if you persist playaction.




IMO, hips do not fire. the core fires.


If I show a ten year old sequence, it can be quite simple. rock the U, while you step open.
As opposed to stride and lay the barrel back toward catcher.

So on to MLB players
