Subtleties in Hip Movement

[bleacherdad]

Hmmm...my own thread...woohoo!

Wait...we can get 14 pages of tweaks for an 8U swing but no insight into this? You KNOW Keyshawn Johnson is sayin' "C'mon Man!"

See Page 67 of the Model Swings thread: http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-hitting-technical/2785-model-swings-67.html#post202803

If you look at posts #661 and #663 this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about...To my novice eye, there are significant differences in Miggy's hips\pelvis movement. #661 is an example of #2 "Lateral move forward with hip rotation initiated on toe touch\foot plant."

#663 is an example of #3 "Hip rotation only triggered by front heel down\rear heel up exchange. Little to no forward lateral movement"

Does a picture help explain why I am raising these questions?

I cannot possibly be the only one who is curious about this...CP

here is what you are looking for:
Donny Buster's "Total Presentation"

Courtesy of the late Donny.
Provided by FFS.

He (Donny) presents a ton of info that my DD uses.
Also, SL and his DD detail what they have used/use.
Of course, seek out Hitter posts right here on DFP.
Perhaps you've already been there. If that is the case, sorry for the interruption.

We used Donny's stuff a lot as well.
