Weight Shift
•Balance in a player with the arms outstretched to either side would be at the line that bisects the pants zipper.
•Balance in a player with the arms outstretched to either side would be at the line that bisects the pants zipper.
•When you put both hands to the back side and then add the weightof a bat back their where is the new center of gravity? It moves to a location nearer thefront inner thigh.
•What happens when you do the above and then pull on the bat thathas mass and inertia (resistance to movement)? You are more out of balance backwardsand you have no lead shoulder leverage.
•The “new balance center”at swing initiation is no longer the zipper. It is somewhere forward of that original point.
•So the weight must shift to the new balance center to be “in balance”at launch.
•Somebody once said, “There is a button on the ground in front of every batter. How and when the batter steps on that button has a lot to do with the quality of the swing.”
•Another great cue for weight shift is “move the release point more out front”or “take the knob out in front of your lead pocket before to release it”.
Be careful....you're about to implode.
Don't you love idiots who take a false premise from which to make a strawman argument?
TOTAL NONSENSE.
Why do people fall for nonsense? Most of the time it happens when their EGO got bruised because their hitting theory was proven to be junk. Nose opened. Nostrils flared. They are incapable of a Jimmy Swaggart. Instead....they take down anyone and everyone they can. Including their own child.

From max coil their rear hip turns forward IMMEDIATELY.....no stall.
Therefore they can stretch against it.
The kid above....next to Cabrera....HAS NO CHANCE.
The swing is pitiful.
Something you can not stand to show.
Can you find it.
