Wellphyt, it seems as if many are jockying for your attention. Not me. I sent you a pm. I hope you read it. Here's the bottom line. I've taught and coached for a few decades. I've had much success in both softball and baseball. Still, what I teach and believe in had to make sense to me. I found that with what SE teaches as well as the concept that PCR has to occur in the Major League swing and so, how. Then, discussion on mechanics or points of emphasis that followed made sense to me. You have to find the same thing. You seem to have found that in Ted Williams's stuff. Great! Run with it. No matter how much I type, if you ain't buying, I ain't selling.
I'm really bad at checking my PM. Which is probably not a bad thing lately.
Yes Ted Williams is my model. I believe he was the greatest hitter of all time and like many knowledgeable baseball people, believe he had the best mechanics. The reason it's hard for me to buy into another approach has nothing to do with personalities or my 'guru is better than your guru' syndrome...it's just pure logic. I'm not going to lay out a logical argument here because it would just stir things up more than they already are, but I can assure you that I can make a very compelling case to continue on my current path.
I also coach. Been doing it for eight years at the lower levels. I do it strictly for fun. I grew up playing baseball and just love being at the ballfield.
As far as people jockeying for my attention, I can't say I agree with that...and I can assure you that I'm not one to be influenced by others. Especially on a message board.
