This is from the ULL Yeager DVD.
ONE of these four is actually 'throwing' properly....or nearly properly. The other three are not....with a couple of them pitiful.
Yet....he consistently states this person isn't doing it right....that she lowers her hands....that she doesn't take them forward 'down through the chest'.....and instead takes them much lower.
Of course, the real issue is....this girl is supinating much sooner than he likes. She is supinating at 'go'. She is supinating from a weight back position. AND.....she is overlaping....the only one.
She is creating the high level barrel path that he can not create.
Underneath all of this HAS to be a belief that the rotation is around the front leg. Because IF he believed differently....if he believed it is in the rear hip joint....where it clearly is initiated....(clear to all Hanson Rule believers anyway)....then the last thing he'd want them to do is take the hands forward across the chest. Yet, he says this over and over and over and over.
So....he concludes....that supinating early is 'barrel dumping'. Because, in his world, you don't swing from there. Which means....he thinks....if you supinate from that position, you lose the barrel then swing. When in reality....when you supinate....properly....at 'go'....there is NO WAY IN HELL...that you dump or lose the barrel....because you aren't just supinating as in allowing the barrel to drop....you are driving the barrel with the forearm rotation.
He believes this....because he can't launch the swing until the weight is forward....with rotation around the front hip joint....AND THEREFORE AROUND THE SPINE. It takes precious time to 'get there' before you can swing.
He believes this....because his lower body teaching is linear.....and rotation only begins when your linear push....staightline in his words....reaches a block. NONSENSE.
HOGWASH.
LUNACY.
