jbooth,
What is the software you are showing there? Do you have any other titles you might use or know of any websites with similar interactive tools?
Thanks
Here's another way to explain it.
"VERY" different? How so? Please detail what you think is so VERY different.
If you think I'm twisting my foot inward, you are mistaken. The heel comes up after I push, and the direction of the heel is toward the camera. My foot doesn't rotate until after the push.
Of course my swing isn't as good as his, but the attempted movements are the same.
yea but the difference is that you have never shown a swing that comes close....I have tried all of the zany stuff out there...and the only time I came close to getting off a decent swing was by using the turn the barrel method that you say doesnt work...
But, I will give you credit for showing your work...most of you out there don't even bother...
The difference (for those out there who care) between throwing the barrel and turning it is - the turning happens immediately....throwing is a hold and throw late method....
So, when MLB players say they lag the barrel and then throw it, which is synonymous with "hold and throw", they are all wrong. They should stop saying and doing that, and follow your method.
JB, I already listed several differences. But I am curious about the following. Place a mouse on the lead shoulder at the first frame. Why does yours look like you are throwing your shoulder into the front side?
Maybe we are all going about it wrong with all these video clips and gifs. We should all start posting audio excerpts.
Probably because my head and whole torso are shifting forward as I go to heel plant. Upton stays back better.
You and others always miss the main point being made and start focusing on minutia.
My point was to show the basic fundamentals. I push into heel plant. Not exactly as he does, but it's the same fundamental move.
I coil and then push. It could be better.
I hold the hands back, not exactly as him, but the fundamental is there.
I turn the hips before the shoulders, not exactly as him, but same fundamental.
I keep the barrel up and back, almost exactly as he does, as the back elbow drops.
I use the hands to throw the barrel directly at the ball, not exactly as he does, but fundamentally the same.
I got lousy extension. But, I could fix that with practice. I could make it all better with practice, but I probably never would mirror him.
It's not MLB quality, but it is MLB pattern.
Why can't you get the main points? Why do you lose sight of the major components. You do that in your critiques of others also. You seem to get lost in minor details, that IMO, don't mean much especially to kids just learning.
I'm not doing something drastically different, such as; shoving the arms to extension prior to contact, or chopping down across the ball's path, or casting the barrel, or turning as a unit, or dumping the barrel, or sweeping, etc. etc.
If I was doing one or more of those things, then I would agree if you said it was VERY different.
It's dang close IMO.
