If you would like to start another thread sometime on explaining this "hip bump", maybe I would learn something new. I do see it in the fp gifs you posted, but imo they were all less than high level swings, good hitters yes, but not elite swings. If they are the model you like to use, fine, I can live with that.
"Create space for the hands to work". I have to say this makes no sense to me. When I swing, my hands stay close to my back shoulder (at go), my elbow slots, side lat area scrunches, shoulders tilt, all to the level of the pitch. My hands stay in front of my shoulder (in front as shoulders rotate, not "in front" as in closer to my pec), turn the barrel and fire to the ball.
My shoulder laterally tilt independent of what my hips do, and...well...I just don't understand the idea of my hands not having room.
Not trying to get in a pee match, but will admit check mate if you can show me this in a high level swing. AND it very well could be just your words for forward by coil. If you do want to discuss, please show vid not stills, I (or rdb, ffs,noon, etc) can help show vid. Turn me on to the idea, and I will help prove your point. Right now, I just don't see it in a high level swing. If you don't want to get into it, that is fine I promise to leave it alone.
Once again... I am not trying to get into a match...yes I do think some people post crap on here that ultimately leads people the wrong way, and yes I sometimes show vid proof they are wrong (to which they say "just because you see it happen, doesn't mean it is happening"). I like a lot of what you say, but this, I (at this point) don't like so much.
Sorry to distract from this thread (I probably should have pm'ed you, my bad).
Thanks!
Yes , I would prefer that if any of you guys have debates about drills , etc. to please PM each other or start another thread. I would like to keep this thread as simple and easy to follow as possible (Just for my own sanity).
