The catapult loading system

[FiveFrameSwing]

So I'm interested. I've watched the videos Joey has on his site and read almost everything there, its pretty solid stuff. I did order the book last night but I'm wonder if (based on earlier comments about the videos) if I should buy a set. Right now the team doesn't have the money to purchase all the courses right now so I'm just wondering if the Catapult Loading System course is worth buying on its own?

I skimmed through the 'free' videos. It is possible I missed something of significance ... but the piece of advice was basically to arrive at 'swing launch' with the lead shoulder drawn down-and-in towards the rear hip (along the front side of the body), and for the rear shoulder to be drawn slightly towards the front hip (along the backside of the body).

Welcome comments from those more familiar with the information. What else was being considered important?

It is pretty simple. The X pattern is for one spring to compress, front shoulder to back hip to shorten as the back shoulder to front hip lengthens. The opposite happens on the back side of the body. He also talks about the spinal engine which is part of the front shoulder coming down and in, the shoulders angling downwards (front side bend).

It's the research he has done on simple movement patterns that makes his info worth it.

5frames,

I forgot to mention he talks about the spinal engine in his material. So it's not just turn the front shoulder in/show the numbers/hide the hands, it's also the spinal engine.
