SB swing -VS- BB swing

[Chris O'Leary]

What you don't do is teach NOT getting the hands going.

Straw man.

Who teaches dead hands?

 

[FiveFrameSwing]

Yes, that would be great.

Was I on the right path?
Is it foot eversion?
That's what I've been calling it.

Thanks,

Who? IMO those that struggle with 'bat drag' generally don't have a firm grasp of hand usage.

There's a difference between activating the hands in order to maintain certain angles and relationships and trying to directly generate power with the hands.

The first is important while the second is impossible.

I view this as potentially hopeful. A big yes to "activating" the hands and in using the hands wrt the relationship between "barrel movement" and "hand pressure". If you are willing to use the hands, then 'bat drag' isn't such a huge struggle.

With respect to what?

I've been saying this for years.
