There's not that many, will unless you count switch hitters, I guess that's differentLol..are we going to list every RH thrower/LH hitter in the HOF because we will be here a while..

Maybe we can use your question/quote from the other thread to answer it here, and maybe make a little suggestion...View attachment 23565 View attachment 23566
Focusing on one thing in this swing, notice back foot scissors a little(not intended). Any guesses on where my focus is on powering this swing? Barrel path would of been much better if sequence was better IMO. However, just trying to hit line drives here
So I'm more in the 60/40 (rear to front foot weighting) moving into the 50/50 range of pressure as the weight it being transferred into the launch of the swing.It makes a difference, I can reach with a bent front leg... like I do in my swings. Or I can land with pressure, I think this is something the OP might want to know as well
Ironic, when I mentioned my sequence wasn't great I was actually referring to me getting to toe touch(60/40) and then heel plant and still shifting my weight forward during launch forward getting to 50/50. That's what I see here;

As you probably know and many others I am a big advocate of landing 50/50(based on watching the pros swing) and then launch... however ... putting that theory into practice does not feel comfortable or natural for me and my path ends up being steep. I prefer to land 60/40 and have some shift in my swing. In these swings I feel there is too much shift in my swing, but having some feels good to me. Regardless in these swings I was not thinking about sequence, hands, legs etc. In these swings it's all about powering the swing with my core(my definition of core includes glutes, hips, obliques etc). It felt good and effortless.
I agree I am leaning back too much, old habit. I am going to simplify and try to Griffey approach, try to keep my head between my feet. I'll try that in my next swings.
I’m making an effort to understand here and I appreciate your explanation. However this is why it gets confusing. You said when launching weight still shifting forward, but when beginning to swing the weight is no longer shifting towards the pitcher. Not nitpicking FP, but isn’t this a contradiction or am I misunderstanding?I think there is some confusion regarding what some people believe is shifting and when. In the gif below, do you consider the hitter 50/50 throughout the clip?
I do not. I consider this hitter to be more back than forward. You could say 60/40, 55/45, or any other combination you want to use. Without having pressure plates beneath his feet, there would be no way to know for sure. As he launches, the shift continues to his front side. However, by the start of this clip, the majority of his mass has already completed it's movement to the pitcher. Once he begins to swing, his mass is steady/balanced/no longer moving towards the pitcher.
Depends what you are looking at. I am trying to be as clear as possible. In the gif I posted do you see how the pressure beneath his feet changes?I’m making an effort to understand here and I appreciate your explanation. However this is why it gets confusing.

It is confusing because people are using the word weight incorrectly (although @FP26 didn’t do that here) like I have said 300 times on here..NOBODIES WEIGHT IS SHIFTING DURING A SWING JUST LIKE THE LENGTH OF ONE’S NOSE DOES NOT SHIFT.I’m making an effort to understand here and I appreciate your explanation.
