Lafayette ... any comments on their hitter's mechanics?

[bullethead]

Was AP focusing on his barrel turn here ?

Barrel turn needs to be a reaction vs a conscious action....

Interesting bc I know two of the swings they really study are bonds and this guy

Im Confused as usual. Where is the push in Elkins game swing?

You're fine Bullet, and so are these young lady's. If they were doing something like this though, I'd be very worried about their live swings.

It does look like the 'one leg drill':

Look at the front leg.
Added: I see someone already mentioned.

bullethead, I realize this is a drill.. Like I said earlier they do establish a tight hand pivot point... The difference is AP's is happening as a result vs forcing it.

Some will say you just turn the vault handle.... Do You think AP is trying to turn the vault handle? Do You think AP could handle the rise ball?

I would love to see the feet in this gif.

What is she doing? jumping onto their front foot?

I like to teach the angle of the barrel is directly proportional to the height of the pitch.

So dumping the barrel for the sake of swivel does not seam correct. imo.

Like to hear more about this.... how do you que & calibrate it ???

I would venture to guess there's a wedge (angled block) under their back foot and they are working downstream of what you're concerned about.

I do think one of the girl's game swing is in line with your bb/a$$ emphasis whereas the other has some slack and I see the result in her hand action (at least I think I do).

Tds, u got the full clip of this particular swing? I never seen AP take a swing like this before. Obvisoulsy hes taking a hack at a high pitch. How many frames u left out?

The person that released that GIF frequently missed frames ... it wasn't something TDS did.

What direction should one turn the vault handle? Why can't you do both? Does one have time to consciously think about doing both?
