HLP vs the High level movement pattern

[erniekru]

Nobody is saying the hands alone cause the angular acceleration (I don’t think). The only question is do they aid in this initially or are they torqued later in the process. My point was that you can direct AND torque initially..they are not mutually exclusive. In reality the body pull will add to that bottom hand force so it will always be much larger than the top hand pull (if there is one)

Totally agree.. My physics gut tells me that if I were trying to suddenly accelerate a bat with a center of mass way away from the hands, the best way to get angular acceleration would be to accelerate the bottom of the bat, not initially impart a measly moment with a low value torque at the hands.

Also totally believe that it isn't an all or nothing proposition.. Likely that both force creations are additive..

TDS,

Obviously you don’t understand the launch position. This was made years ago.

Always working forward. Why do you believe a hitter isn’t moving forward in HLP?

@TDS sorry for adventure down this road on your thread LOL. Didn't intend for that to happen.

All good !! Keep it going !!

The hands create a rotational axis.

"Swing is the shift" "Shift then swing"

Are you saying this in response to Shawn's question or are you saying that his gif shows one hitter is shift then swing and the other swing is the shift?

Pointing out the difference in patterns. Patterns that have been around before our time.

Well I guess we’ll never see a hitter shift then swing, unless there is a timing adjustment or weird swings. lol Strike three.

Nope they shift into both legs for the fb and off-speed (fyb).

Oh, Don’t weight the front foot, stepping on eggs shells. Stay back while moving forward.
