Me:" If you are coiling inward as you stride, it is impossible to open the front shoulder. "
1. Are you confusing the word 'inward' with the word outward?
2. Good hitters don't stride differently for different pitches. The pitch takes .400 sec to arrive, and the swing forward move takes abt .200 sec. So, you must begin the stride at/before the pitcher releases the ball, and the front foot must be down when the ball is halfway there.
Why do you want to do that on an outside pitch, open completely pulling the front shoulder?
