You think your the only one who has tried to make the torso the engine and the legs the supporters? I tried it, it’s a dead end. It will only make your swing worse. Look at Sean Dixon’s swing. Then tell me the torso runs everything and the legs are just supporters.

If the legs are the supporters, then why does the back knee coming down and in always lead? 🤔
Obviously not, the pros do it every night... they are not trying, they are succeeding.
I've never said the legs are dead... Just a FYI.

That’s spinning. every swing will have the belly button leading the turn.

So do you believe the legs are only supporters, as in is the tail wagging the dog or is the dog wagging the tail?

Tell me how much you believe in the legs?

W=W

At best the back knee moves down and in at the same time the BB turns.

What makes you think the back leg is used differently between between the the two theories? Only TDS, W=W and you think their different.

So let’s start over. I think both of these swings are on off speed pitches. I’ll post more of the swings as we discuss.

I know you think the torso/core is the driver and I once believed that too. I’m not saying the torso is not used, I just no longer believe in it the same as you.

So what is the launch position? We can start there.

I’m being serious now. I didn’t even call TDS as STD. lol👍

Yea, this young girl has been through the FBC, ttb, stuff that you are now preaching.. She understands what the legs are used for.. So maybe Shawn you had no idea what you were looking for in regards to the job of the core.. She hasn't looked back and never worries or thinks about losing the coil etc.. Its crazy whats possible if you allow kids to be athletes at the correct time...
