TTB and Swing Adjustability

[2br02b]

TTB exists in all of the high level swings.

Neither of those things, as you described them, actually exist in a high level MLB swing. No wonder there is disagreement...

Active hands is one which says nothing about forced supination.

Please define the movements of active hands.
And all this forced vs "unforced"?....please define the difference because every movement is forced in some manner unless the batter is being acted on by some outside force..... maybe he gets pushed by the catcher?
Are you saying the bat free-wheels because of the centrifugal force exerted by the rotation of the core? Then explain the difference in the rotational planes of the 2 and how the inefficiency when they're mismatched could produce any bat speed?

I will leave this to the folks who made the comments.

Not sure what he is trying to prove here because there is a big difference in swings. Watch the weight and check out back foot action. Shot himself in the foot with this one.

I think that's exactly what happens, ... sick of getting bopped in the head <sarcasm inserted>

@TDS ,

What are your thoughts on the "oar lock" description that BoardMember used to talk about?

I always liked and respected boardmember's views when he posted on the hitting forums.

Can you refresh my memory ? Or provide a video ?

I guess we have multiple definitions of ttb now as well .

Yes hitters a attempt to maintain radial/ulnar deviation down to and into the ball.

Yes, there are many demo swings where the pros show only only the radial /ulnar deviation "chopping" movement and the signature "cutting the ball" and accompanying back spin. Their game swings are TTB supination, and then some RUD radial ulnar deviation after the supination gets to its limit.

Where's the flaw in my description?

They haven't stepped up so please define how active hands is a different wrist action than supination or R/U deviation. All that's left is flexion and surely no one could say that's a batting movement of the wrists? But there are those.......
