Yeah. That’s tough to not judge. Disrespected my former team? Gotta do more than that. I’m guessing there’s more or TP needs to grow up. One or the other.
Lead arm/shoulder adduction is sooo important. Let’s ‘rotation’ happen through functional body parts. Not a middle move😑. Other parts will do the job. Top hand, back knee will move the pelvis and torso when needed. Creating the ‘X’ pattern contraction. Piazza w a nice demo.
Initiate your stretch w the front foot. Front leg down against the hands up stretches the middle. Or chest stays down and back while the hips drop. That’s where the unseen speed comes from. In Golf it’s called ‘the vertical drop and the horizontal tug.’
What’s troubling is these gurus and coaches say they’re here for their players. But when tested or shown something isn’t quite right, they shut down or block you. Thought they wanted to learn? Be careful.actions always speak louder than words.
Why do we hip hinge? To rotate??NO. To extend. Hip turn is positioning not unloading. Nothing has been launched until the hands come forward. The hips come last folks when it comes to power. Well after good rotation has been initiated BY THE HANDS..
Just for understandings sake.. decel is a spine/hip extension thing. Its VERY NATURAL. Mostly your trying not to decel. Lol. It’s not a martial arts thing; bracing or a closed thing. Rotation stops when the spine extends up. Nothing more. nice distal to prox load/unload by Alo.
This gif should help whoever doesn’t get it. Is Mike in the same position for these 3 different pitches? Steep to shallow? Well what sets this up? The tilt back is the result. Not the cause. SMH. Hand paths very different as well. Cadence also. You create your position..
@bobbeckbaseball
Barrel is down after the hands move forward that’s not towards the catcher. Not deep either. Pitch location should be relative to depth. Hand depth and body pivot is more relative to swing depth than the barrel. At least in good swings.

A quick fix is setting up 50/50 and wait as long as you can to move the front foot during BP or machine work. You won’t have time to get stuck. Naturally the weight will move back & forward earlier (like walking)and your hands will be free to work the ball all over.
On plane is nothing. It’s a selling point from the old Epstein video days. The old ‘V’ swing path was being poo-pooed in favor of getting on plane early. But in reality ‘on plane’ CANNOT happen until the hands pass the midline.. we go from flexion to extension at the same..
Yelich is still positional and doesn’t shift his weight on time. Notice the hip line. The weight should shift much earlier vertically aka get your foot down early. Aka beat the pitcher to your spot. He instead glides out and loses his core. Think his stance screws him up.
Classic ‘pull’ swing. Lead shoulder adduction. Or keep the front shoulder ‘in’. Get the hands active early to help anchor the front shoulder/arm down against the pelvis’ advance.Then one can throw the head w force and direction w the top hand. You want to..
@ItDiscovers
@SteveEnglishbey
It’s just sequencing correctly. But in regards to the arms staying ‘up’. That was one of Bonds keys to hitting. It also kinda builds in the stretch portion as well.. the hands act as an anchor during this portion so the lower half can clear correctly.
@ChezWhizzz
The ‘load’ of the torso stays intact. That’s why he can sink into the front leg and buy time.. the rear leg ensures more depth. Not adjustability.
@ChezWhizzz
The shift happens early bc of dynamic balance/leverage. There’s a shift at the start of a good sequence/swing. Has it all shifted? No. But there’s is one and then another at foot down.
Contract-stretch-contract the middle. Arms/barrel/tilt react. The stretch and launch contraction is triggered by the front foot getting down. Which is triggered by timing the ball. Hitting is timing. Mechanics is timing. Approach creates timing.
For the people in the back.. inside the ball isn’t what HOF power hitters do. They’re over the top unless the pitch is low. That’s when the bat will drop below the shoulder a bit. Inside the ball gives more time but has less coverage and less power. Take the knob towards the ball
@forcefulhitting
@tx_pierce
Think water skier and boat. When the boat arcs the skier is thrown outside the wake. So w that said when the pivot turns so should the hands. But the pivot will not be in the same place all the time. Pitch related.
toe touch, you’re late. The gurus want an inside out swing that is late to the fastball but is on time for junk. It’s a flawed model. it lacks power to all fields. The pull field becomes null. Lag becomes a thing. Direction becomes tougher. Rotation is killed.. ever notice what..
The pull late load swing. HOF swing. True power stroke. Shorter,deeper,quicker. Longer arm swing against a controlled stride. Timing of the load is hand based. Not back hip driven. Walking is the model.
@mamedina8
I just don’t see that on video. Everyone’s lower half should get forward. How else do you stretch things? It isn’t hip coil. That creates an unanchored feel. That pushy feel. It’s like they said a looong time ago. Get the lower and upper going on opposite directions.
@Lilli_Martineau
Thanks for the shout Lilli !! I would tell people to follow you but I’m pretty sure all my followers follow you already! 😆 thank you humbly. 🙂
X pattern loading is found in the best hitters. Early front hip leverage against a back shoulder anchor is the first stretch. The second stretch is found during the back hip flexing backwards against a front shoulder anchor. Once stable(foot down). Both the back hip and hands..

Might look like a kickstand but the back hip gets forward before the stride leg extends. It’s the same as the classic approach and not what is being sold as ‘right’. AJ made this same adjustment last year. Now he’s more consistent. But the guru will never admit it.
Look for the synchronization. Front lower half syncs w the hands.. front shoulder syncs w the back leg/hip. You will see one load the other. And those pieces launch against those same load/anchor points. X load pattern.. the cross body contraction is more vertical then it looks..
So can we finally agree that launch angle is dictated by the front foot? Getting it down earlier breeds earlier launch capabilities which lets the bat get ‘out front’ so trajectories are now known to be timing related. Which means we want high trajectories to the pull & low oppo.
@TewksHitting
think you deserve to know. The whole GFR thing is way overblown. Joey/Eugene hang there hats there. Rotation and timing are what create speed. Hip extension finishes the job. They’re are creating anti-rotation to fling something without positioning. They use the ground in the..
@TewksHitting
Bobby you act like you aren’t a cog in the hitting business. You fuel it to sell your stuff. If you can’t handle the truth about where hitting is at since the gurus took over than get better. Hitting has declined since Josh Ds crap interview. Every year.. just in the last week..

Swinging down is the only way to control the swing of the barrel. The body tilt brings the barrel ‘up’. Since the swing happens after the front foot gets down. Tilt from the torso/hips/legs swings the pendulum up through the ball naturally. If you’re late GB if early FB. Not hard
Hand path. Swing plane. Direct and on top. Nothing else works better. What is missed is that his hands & which direction he takes them creates the arc.The barrel releases bc of the arc he created w his HANDS. Which is dictated by where the ball is.Longer or shorter when needed.
Now the swing is top down? But the middle is the mover? Make up your mind. When we walk we swing our arms against our legs. The middle reacts. That’s what moves you. That’s how we hit.
@krista_stoker
Interesting subject. To me the faulty load can/is sequential. Not enough time to leverage the weight. Which leads to pushy or spinny back legs. And pushy hands. The weight shifting back should be well before the hands seek a ‘load’.
Gosh. Peel the heel. They didn’t learn from hip shoulder separation and they won’t learn from this. The best hitters throughout time let the heel release via the back knee. It’s how you get SePaRaTeD!! If you have to peel the heel your sequence is bad and your upper body isn’t ..
Lead arm against the chest until the turn is done. Very important. Extension is a result or an adjustment of the goal. This is why knob to the ball gets such a bad rep.
