Pretty cool view of Votto timing the pitch......
No offense but, if I can't see the pitcher on the left. How do I know both hitters started at the same time. Just because the 2 gifs 'seemed' sync together doesn't mean the 2 pitchers were in prefect sync in their delivered/delivering motion.
Even if the pitchers aren't the same, it gives you a general idea.
You missed my point but, that's OK....
Votto:
I've witnessed kids starting their swings too early to try and combat faster pitching than they are used to seeing, when they encounter it.
The result is they actually have to slow down their bat, mid-swing, to try time contact properly, because they have committed to the swing so early.
So, I always thought that max coil was reached at toe touch, launch position. The whole FBC thing. Although many seem to coil early such as the Sweeney clip and then have a small weight shift. So is that incorrect that max coil is at toe touch?

Depends if you are considering max coil as single point in time or if it could be coil and hold, as noted you can't hold forever but it could be more than just an instant. As noted in a different thread I think I did it for Sosa he actually reaches back (I didn't watch hips just hands but I would assume hips as well) after toe touch. I would think correct sequence would be max coil is reached just prior to launch, so that begs the question when does launch begin usually as early as toe touch but maybe as late as heel plant...
Good hitters don't coil and then hold coil.Depends if you are considering max coil as single point in time or if it could be coil and hold, as noted you can't hold forever but it could be more than just an instant.
