Is Bregman TTB here? Is Altuve? They both look like they are; just not so far behind them.

No they’re not. They know how to shift weight and contract their core. Fast hands happen after core contraction which is the turn or acceleration during a good swing. Watch the belt buckle rise. That happens through pulling(contracting)with the obliques.

You only need to cast err TTB when you haven’t shifted bc there is no real stretch/contraction aka speed created yet. Its all compensations. Meaning there is no natural use of the body. It’s all manufactured.On the other hand, the movements during a pro swing are natural reactions to proper torque/force sequenced/exuded from the middle of the body.

Yes TTB.

It happens pretty fast. Pitch locations and timing play a part on how deep it looks when looking at video.

Bregman has a tight sequence. Sudden. I think he is a pull hitter, not sure. It just looks that way on video.

No no no Shawn.

No they’re not.

Yes TTB.

That clears that up.

Let’s your eyes tell you what you see wo prejudice. Pretty clear.

Can you give me your definition of "Fast Hands" and what that means? For example is it a directional cue? thanks

Yes. Altuve's turn is a bit deeper because he works more on/behind his rear hip, where Bregman works more in front of his rear hip. For both, the initiation of the barrel turn is happening as the hands are moving in connection with the rear shoulder (I've always liked the description from @redhotcoach - "shoulder delivers the hands").

Its the recruitment of the hands after you have turned. It’s the ‘whip’ of the barrel. Or knob ‘to’. When maneuvering a whip the hands must come forward to lag/release the barrel. I’m pretty sure we’ve covered this CL.

No, no, no. Your just blind. You have a belief system, which usually sounds like gibberish, and therefor leaves one blind to the truth.

I’ve heard stories like people learning there’s trees and flowers they never seen in places. They were blind, until an experience restored their sight.

I'm a little confused on the relationship between turning the barrel rearward (which shoots the knob of the bat skyward) and then subsequently rolling over the hands (i.e., pushing the top hand past the bottom hand at some point). Are those two things consistent with each other?

I was just curious, I've heard the term fast hands used before, I was just curious of your definition is all. You define it as take the knob to the ball or direction as fast as possible, no harm no foul
