Out from the body

[Mike]

I see some timing issues , slop, and the need to load better but out from the body looks good to my armature eyes and I got excited to share. Comments are welcomed


I had Chloe do this drill before we hit off the tee

.



And this one

I know this is a different angle and certainly not a perfect swing by any means, but the focus was getting the barrel into the neck slot and turning the crap out of the barrel with the rear forearm. This ball was outer half and went to fence to RF using beat up shag balls.

The constant fight is to get the girls to not rely on their torso/shoulder to turn the barrel. They have to develop the forearm strength the rip the handle around their rear forearm

[Mike]

Looking at your girl, you can see her loading her back and hands as she pulls back.

That is one of the several things we are addressing but thanks for pointing it out my eyes and awareness is not as strong as some of the more experienced posters here.

Neck slot & split grip.

Got to learn to launch from behind the corner. To do that you coil max. Then tilt the torso (away from opposite middle infielder) over the ball of the femur as the go move. Snap the hands simultaneously with the tilt.

Each swing I see, your hitter(s) want some momentum before they launch. And this false need for momentum causes them to bleed the corner before they launch. It's like they want to break inertial first....then swing. No. The hand snap and tilt must be first. That action will break inertia and cause the body to burst as a result. (if loaded properly....SnF load around rear leg)

Said another way, the snap of the hands is late.....or.....very slow. Not nearly instant. Not nearly sudden. Not nearly all in instantly.

The swing is the equivalent of a muscle twitch. Twitch the body. Make the body twitch so fast that the arms can not move forward first. Make the body twitch so fast/sudden that nothing has time to go wrong.

Thanks, for the instructions on turning the barrel instantally. I still see some small body movement but more movement in the barrel behind her



compared to other attempts. I'm looking for progress in the right direction. I see more work is needed.

Trying to turn the barrel behind her.

[Teacherman]

Must get more one legged and get a deeper coil then laterally tilt at go.

[Mike]

Lots of stretch n fire drills?

[Mike]

she did lots of stretch n fire drills



She said this swing felt more powerful than others

[Teacherman]

Major improvement.

[RayR]

Watch the tee clip just from the waist down.

[Mike]

Major improvement.

You don't know how long I've been wanting to hear this. Thanks for the continued help and support. This is a 180 degrees difference from what I've been teaching her. She felt the surge of power in her bat that you have described to all of us. She is really pumped up to hit.

Ok, what am I looking for????

I think she could wring out the rag a little more and hold the hands back better. This would probably get her barrel to turn instantly in to her lateral tilt because she kind of drags it a little?
