Lets see one of yours better than this one RICH!

Ill come to the arena...just tell me when and where. I can get into that virus infected site and your site is one off those pay sites! So I have to swing the bat? Can I just send you video of my playing days or do you want the swings of today? Do I need to take my shoes off?

I was there. In fact, when I joined Englishbey's website, TM (Voldamont) was the first to welcome me. He was an attack dog for Englishbey and the Posse even though Steve didn't want him to be. I remind everyone of the "neck swings" etc. which also included the swings off of the deltoid that Englishbey had on his website and in the video section. How hard is it to progress from those videos to what he claims? Howe and I have talked about this before and for a long time. Though not always in agreement, Howe and I have shown that we can agree to disagree and we have had some great discussions. I've said it before and I'll say it again, my dd's success is because of all of you guys that I didn't always agree with giving advice along with the advice of Englishbey and his camp. Donny was always there as well.

Englishbey never wanted to talk about the hands - that was the source of many disagreements. Like pretty much all the info out there - there was some good and some not so good.

Buttermaker, you are correct. I know you were around then as well. However, I was referencing what you saw if you watched the videos and toured the video library. Anyone who saw that library knows the content. The "next step" wasn't hard for many to figure out.

The secret weapon I use with great results, to the point that hitting suffers if we haven't done for awhile and hitting has huge improvements after just a few times: A modified uptick from a 45 degree snf. Start sometimes with tee, sometimes side toss, some times an angle toss aiming oppo, working up to me pitching from about 30 feet as fast as I can mixed with offspeed. Hitter working on rightnowsnapsudden.

Can you elaborate or illustrate this RHC ?

Um, I have the PM's - no reason to lie. I've got PM's.

In regards to your fantasy world:



Meet George:

Direct/Load/Launch - George doesn't UNLOAD the barrel into swing initiation. He LOADS the barrel as his body takes DIRECTION from the HANDS,,, fool! Notice how George is able to load the barrel without losing the wrist angles. That comes from learning how to use the hands properly. You wouldn't know what that is. Notice how the rear elbow works in a continuous - unencumbered - manner. He's looking to release the barrel through the ball with EVERYTHING! Why would any hitter want to just turn the barrel and fling it at the ball? Especially when the option of having the WHOLE body DELIVER the barrel through the ball EXISTS?

You ruined your own kid. Dip/Turn/Fling! A backyard wiffle ball swing, being sold as high level. Show some decency and leave these poor folks alone.

Well put Howe.

Yes, in some of the upper action. What I do differently, and I think I added it in my description earlier, is I have the students start the hips and hold the upper. I have them add some lateral tilt. I use a wall or a cage net as a restraint and a piece of tape on the wall as a guide. Out of curiosity, would these changes make what you see better or do you discount this drill? I was absolutely shocked when I saw this as I couldn't believe that someone else had a similar idea. Howe and I talked about roughly this when we talked about Donny's "Rockin the U" a few years ago. I added the tip and rip from BBScout. If you will recall, I talked about the system I used for BB back in the day and adding the tip and rip. For us, this seems to work well but again, with the differences I point out here.

Not only is the demonstration showing the hand leading ahead of the elbow at the RVP Connection Point Position, but a pinched forearm-to-bicep orientation in the rear arm is maintained well out front. It's not good. Poor energy flow.

Isnt that what I said about my hitters? Not perfect but working towards it? Ahhhh the hypocricy. Can you make an statements without insults. Can you give constructive criticism as a professional without the childish, unprofessional insults. If you want to be treated as a professional or a leader in your field then you must act like one.

The thing that you just don't understand is, Im giving you excellent advise. If you would tone it down, be professional and lose all of the stupid internet battles you may be successful.

Points for you to consider

1. I watched you basically teach Tewks and Justin Stone. I will give you your credit there. You had a falling out? Why is that? Tewks or Stone don't even acknowledge you existence and nor does Stone. But you constantly bash them in your jealous rage.

2. Why have other built a following and a loyalty that you just cant seem to do? Epstein, Builder, Tewks, Howard, Doc, Stone, and many more, Why cant you do this?

3. If you ever attempted to promote a DVD any and all that would search your name would be astonished by what they see. For god sakes you cant even search your Hitting Illustrated site without a virus or porn popping up! Why is that? You obviously pay no attention to detail because that problem still exists.

4. Why haven't you published a DVD with all of your knowledge, The DVDs that sell are nothing special and could be easily done. I can tell you this, they wouldn't sell.

5. Do you care that your name is trashed in the hitting world for one reason alone. Your attitude.

6. Do you care that you have the reputation of abusing kids on your internet site. Yes I use "abusing" loosely. Abusing meaning, criticizing, and making fun of them, dogging them, bashing them. Do not know that this is your reputation? You have to?

7. Does anyone in the whole entire world know hitting as well as you do?

8. Where is the anger stemming from? Is it because your peers are much more successful than you?

9. Can you honestly say that what you have done to Chappys son and others is morally right?

10. Do you really think that what goes on at your site is worth $240.00 a year? You don't review videos, you take days and days when and if you do. You don't give clear and understandable advise. You have your own hitting speak, YOU COULD NEVER APPEAL TO THE MASSES. Like the others have done!

Now take a moment and reflect on what I have said. Im sure you know this to be true and accurate, You may want to focus your attention on yourself and try to become a better person! Maybe then you can succeed in what you do and be able to buy you a place to actually do the work you are so great at. A hitting instructor without a place to work is like a SCRATCH/SCAB tattoo artist with no shop!

Said differently ...... you appear to believe that TM could use a course on Emotional Intelligence.
