When Your Experience Is Lacking....You Are Guessing.

[Teacherman]

Do they have different mechanics? Different swing characteristics? How is one swing better than the other?

Um....both do the same thing. They start with a hip coil. Then they pull back with their back/scap to create/keep a corner. Then they turn the barrel rearward. One uses significant momentum. The other not. The important details of their swings....the absolutes....the stretch n fire loading.....around the rear hip socket....etc....are identical.

BOTH have a deep whoosh. BOTH launch from behind a corner. Not one demo in the ebook is from behind a corner.

And....NOT ONE CLIP....has been shown of a Tewks ebook trained hitter....having a corner. In fact, the ones we have seen, do not have a corner. And get this.....HE ADMITS IT.

This project was a HUGE mistake. His analysis skills are quite lacking. His question above proves it. His reliance on the forward move to get a stretch is little leagueish. He is way too inexperienced to sell a book. His poster boy doesn't do what he teaches and can not do what he does successfullly.....with what Tewks teaches.

Ask yourself....WHY....why does Colabello have a corner? What does he do to create that corner? Why isn't that taught in the ebook?

But wait....the very next frames....

OH MY

Tell us Tewks....since that rear elbow was up at solid footplant....and according to you, you have to push from that position....tell us....why does his top hand remain above his elbow as he turns the corner.

And how the hell did that elbow get down?

I'm sure you know the answer.

I mean....you're an author.

You wrote a book.

Be sure to figure out how to say it without using the word uptick....or forearm rotation....or turn the barrel....or pull back....you know....those absolutes. Those absolutes that....

TURN THE ELBOW DOWN FOR YOU

.....so you don't have to do some cockamania nonsense.

Did that ebook just define the word 'incomplete'?

[Teacherman]

The guy writes a book on swing mechanics....then backs off by saying....."Athletes reign supreme"....yet offers Clemente in a discussion about mechanics? Clemente?....a guy....MAYBE THE ONLY GUY....who has ever swung like he swings?

Then says this....

With that being said, a guy like Chris Denorfia put on some outstanding at bats. Battles, grinds. I had a chance to speak with him about his AB against Romo in the Mexico game... just battled his ass off. That is valuable. If he's a lesser athlete (or if he has attitude issues/does things wrong off the field/doesn't chase it down in the OF well), does he stick around? Its a funny game. Results do matter even if the process isn't optimal.

AS IF HE KNOWS WHAT THE HIGH LEVEL PROCESS IS.

His book offers no evidence that he knows.
