Just when I'm ready to teach extention "Turn the Triangle" looks pretty good
This has the potential for an awesome discussion.
I have taught for a long time maintaining distance between the elbows, at least to help get the barrel efficiently turned.
Recently based on some video I have watched of hitters, I have wanted to include more of an extension into/through contact as part of what I teach (I think FFS calls this the along part of the swing).
It often seems like some hitters, once the barrel is on plane maintain the wrist angle while extending, almost pushing through contact.
This video does a nice job of showing and explaining otherwise - "just rotate the triangle into contact". It is Jack Mankin of batpeed.com. I hope we can stick with the message and not spend time talking about Jack either way which would not be useful.
Thoughts?
