We see a lot of youngster who go all back/gather and go all forward
He wants you to believe that because his arms go back as he shifts his weight forward....that his son is doing it right.
However.....in all of these guys.....
.....they go back as they go forward.....
BUT THEY DO NOT
SHIFT THEIR WEIGHT
UNTIL GO
SHIFT THEIR WEIGHT
UNTIL GO
lilchappedass SHIFTS....THEN....SWINGS.
That is an immediate pattern killer.
This has been explained to him 50,000 times.
It is crystal clear....to a truthseeker.
But.....his goal is clearly not the truth.

On the left....no barrel dump at all. Hands at arm pit. Barrel turned for a pitch read UP. A very normal barrel path for that pitch. That swing hit 3 HR's in a doubleheader.
In the middle....a ball hit off the top of the CF fence.....off the best pitcher he's ever seen in his life.....very challenging speed with all the pitches and movement. Another barrel path angle....all of them set by the pivot of the handset.
On the right....the swing that is compared to Bonds. That swing hit the longest HR ever in that park.
These three swings all are a bit different.....BUT.....they all have the same engine. Brandon experimented with handset....stance....posture.....after finding the engine. The engine remained constant. Once you feel the SnF it is UNDENIABLE. And once you learn what creates it....you can easily try out new 'surface' elements.....without ever jeopardizing the engine.
When you speak of 'pattern'....for the high level swing.....what you're talking about is the engine. You're talking about WHERE the barrel speed is.....and HOW the body creates that speed there.
The body can do that from many different stances, postures and styles.
Same engine. Different look.
Numbnuts has no idea what I'm talking about.
He's a kindergartener trying to keep up with a professor.
A simple hand pivot point PIVOT....a change in the swivel angle.....allows the hitter to adjust on the fly as needed.
On the left....a low pitch lined between SS and 2nd base.
In the middle....off the best pitcher he's ever seen....a rope in the 5 hole.
On the right....an outside pitch taken right by the 3Bman's ear.
A HIGHLY adjustable technique.
How many times will he lie about that?
I OWN HIM.
I expose his nonsense....WITH FACTS.....so much he HAS to respond.....in order to rehab.
Go ahead you with the chappedass....tell em again that you are done.
I'll make you squirm over and over and over.
His/their use of the word SEQUENCE....exposes their flawed understanding of the swing. SEQUENCE to them INLCUDES sequential unloading. In other words....they have an UNLOADING sequence. And the sequence is called SHIFT THEN SWING. They don't load properly, therefore they can not just UNLOAD. They have to shift first. They have no suddenness to their launch. And that shift, as part of the unload, IS A HITTER KILLER.
Take a look at the difference....

Manny is sudden. lilchappedass goes all back....shifts forward without holding back and stretching...after sufficient momentum he goes all forward and pushes the barrel. Did you notice he doesn't even challenge that?
THAT IS HIS/THEIR UNLOAD SEQUENCE. Try an unload sequence against good pitching. LMMFAO at their stupidity.
I say 'their'.....because what you see happens in EVERY HITTER TRAINED TO DO 'THE MOVE'. It HAS to. There is no other option. You can not stretch and stay back and unload suddenly with a deep whoosh, like all high level hitters do, with that 'out of control' forward momentum. It is out of control because NOTHING is attempting to hold it back.
Here is a guy with maybe THE MOST EVER forward momentum....

These frames....
http://www.hittingillustrated.com/im...arkStretch.gif
.....ARE MISSING IN LILCHAPPEDASS AND EVERY HITTER TRAINED WITH THE MOVE.
Even with Clark's unusual strong forward momentum.....He is still BACK and STRETCHED AROUND at launch. He knows he has to ARREST that forwward momentum by countering with something 'back'. Watch him work his hands back into his launch position AGAINST his forward mvoement. His weight is back at launch. His weight doesn't shift until after go. lilchappedass has bled everything forward....shifts his weight forward.....THEN pushes the barrel.
You know what is the best proof of that.....THEY WON'T POST A CLIP FOR YOU TO SEE IT. They KNOW it doesn't exist.....and all they will do is HIDE that fact rather than address it.
IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. Remember, bigchappedass called lilchappedass and Manny a match.
I LOVE WHEN IDIOTS EXPOSE THEMSELVES
As an aside....several posters ask him to stop his nonsense. He agrees.....then violates the agreement. What is particularly interesting....is no moderator says a thing.
discussfastpitch lacks leadership. It lacks a foundation in truth. It lacks a positive mission. Not positive as in 'lets all be nice'. But positive in 'lets get this right.....lets make sure the information is correct. It is HIGHLY BIASED.....and it uses censorship to protect it's bias.
There is one rule that must be observed here. If you're going to challenge the teaching.....YOU MUST PRODUCE VIDEO OF YOURSELF OR YOUR STUDENT TO BACK UP THE CHALLENGE. If you aren't capable, I will put that video side by side to a pro.....and expose your ass. And OHHHHH that chapps their ass.....when they can't just spew without accountability.
And that chapps his ass bigtime. He can't make wild unfounded claims here. But he and his claims are loved and encouraged at the leaderless site called discussfastpitch.
