Answer this....if the barrel is below the hands, how here is the knob pointed?
The knob position is ever changing based on what the pitch calls for.. Why put the focus on one position ?

Are we having an honest discussion or are we driving an agenda?"I'm just trying to get the head out" but that's not really what he's doing. Knob down.View attachment 15357

You keep showing release points of swings. That part is automatic. How about what your advocating against which is ‘swing down’. Bet 1-2 frames before contact the barrel is above the hands out of plane.
Which is not knob ‘up’. That would be knob down. As in swing ‘down’. Correct?
High pitch
Low pitch
Early bat speed is why.
Nice non answer.
Yes, if the pitch is over my head, I keep the knob pointed down.
We're talking about turning the barrel and teaching a girl who swings down at the ball to get her barrel on the plane of the pitch that is falling. So getting her to feel the knob pointing upward is a good teach.
How about getting a bat and TRYING it yourself and feel what it does when you let the raised barrel rotate beneath your hands (and the knob will point upward) onto the plane of an incoming pitch. Then we can talk.
