Pure barrels or cut!

[radness]

Pick up the bat and try, down to with good sequence and posture, what happens to the barrel, what’s the resulting barrel path?

Julray you keep repeating same question ...Please answer your own question.....

As an example the barrel path of man in yellow shirt is yucky.

RAD.. do you think I'm just guessing here? . Chances are, I already have.. right?

Just curious. Who exactly was supporting the clip on the left?

Why does it always come back to this? I'm not singling anybody out here. I believe you liked a post from RichK right. One that showed TM's Twitter feed displaying "You Must Swing Down"

Pure barrels or cut!

I agree 100% FP, in regard to where the term originates from. However the "down to" the best hitters demo and talk about is completely opposite of the action of turning the barrel. So if they never heard that term before I would expect at least to see it during the demos and during their drills...

I can't say for sure why you liked the post.. but do you believe TM's version of swing down is the same as what the pros are saying? I'm just providing video to show the difference between the two.

I think he was an orthopedic surgeon.

No....but your trying to get others to understand you...or get results in others feedback?!
Finish your question!

Btw, yes i see the diversity of styles and opinions...and not saying agree or disagree.
Simply following discussions.
Not everyone takes the same disecting approach as yourself.
Sometimes simple has results...even in a technical approach.

I have answered my question many times. If people want the truth they need to find out themselves. They may or may not agree.. makes no difference to me. Just trying to shine some light on what I believe the pros mean by "down to", best way to understand that is to try it yourself. Many are very dismissive when it comes "down to" and because of that they could potentially really be missing out here. I am not trying to validate what I am saying but asking others to experiment.

I'm not playing "what is missing" . Can you not see the difference.. specifically when isolating the hands and what they are doing?
