what's the RVP connection point position?

[mann]

What is it, and how do you teach it?

My view of connection is The front arm is key to "stay connected".

So, I need to clear up my thinking on the RVP point.

Swingbuilder has some great clips on keeping stacked, and a deep pivot point, but I am missing something.

Never played, never swung a bat until this clip.

3rd day.

RVP connection point looks OK, but I never worked on it.

Oh ya, nice job young lady.

RVP connection point.....Hand stacked over the elbow at the back stripe in the pants.
I believe that is what Candera says.

Just to add, I think if you work hard at "FIXING BAT DRAG" you will over do it and never see this position. IMO you don't fix bat drag, you completely revamp the swing.

Mann, I posted an example of the position in your other thread ....

Notice the position of the barrel ... that seems to be ignored by some, but it shouldn't be.

The "RVP Connection Point Position" is the position that the swing passes through with the "top hand" + "rear elbow" + "rear shoulder" all aligned with the "rear hip". You want the Power-Vee orientation of the rear arm to be 'upright'.

Perhaps as a starting point, take a look at this thread. If you can create/replicate the actions Doug is talking about here, I don't think you will need to worry about bat drag.

Here it for yourself from the coach of team USA
Bustos learned it from him or all ready knew, then Howard and her did some of this at clinics, and taught it to me.

Its good to know for a checkpoint in the swing. I use a connection device if they have trouble.

Someone says these 2 swings are the same.
I know still shots are the middle ground around here, SO, are these 2 swings the same???
