Model swings

[Dave D]

As many have said, this has to be the best thread EVER on this site. The thing I love the most is the variety of successful moves here. These girls get the job done despite the wide range of approaches. Some rotate, some don't. Short strides, long strides--this collection runs the gamut. FFS, you have posted many of these clips, and I want to thank you for all the work you've done. Over all the years I've been working with hitters, it has always been hard to find clips anywhere but somewhere someone was selling something or some kind of cookie cutter approach. I feel like I understand hitting a little more each day--just in time for DD's freshman year.

As someone who's done a lot of work with video with marginal results, I'm looking to upgrade my clip editing capability. I'm going to try anyvideoconverter, but not sure it supports Mac OS. Would be possible for you to post more of the clips in even slower motion. The slower, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Dave,

A great piece of advice that someone posted elsewhere on this forum is to download the pictures to your local machine and then pull them up in Quicktime. Using your right arrow key you can then step through the frames one by one and examine the swing in great detail.

Thanks for sharing that. Frame by frame analysis is what I like to see.

Okay, so I get what you mean. I have QT Pro on my machine, so no problem there, but I am missing the piece that allows me to load the animated .gif files to my machine. When I try to save them to my machine, all I get is a single still. Any input?

Thanks. I just figured it out just exactly that way on my own. For a computer geek, sometimes I can be soooo dull-headed
The scary part--now I can frame-by frame about 200 swings. DD and DW may not see me for a month.

Thanks again FFS. IMO the clips of May are the best out on how to hit a drop.

I appreciate you forwarding the video to create GIFs from. Will post another swing from that video later.
