For the record.....please post a quote from me where I said you swing at every pitch.
I'm not 100% sure that you're into honesty....but I trust since you believe that is what I said that you'd post the quote.
Thanks.
I know you need to distract because you can't show a clip of your work that will match video. You're one of the all time great guessers. So at least show the quote I asked for above.
Maybe in a few you'll grow a set.

With the knowledge just given.....knowing that a pulling rear hip/leg is a key to the high level pattern....how do I know that Jeter's rear hip/leg is pulling.
Well....
1. Look at the depth of his barrel compared to the black line in the dugout. Your barrel will not have any depth UNLESS the rear hip/leg is pulling.
2. Look at the barrel path....the drop in altitude, if you will. That drop is DRIVEN....it isn't gravity driven.
3. Look at his lead/left shoulder. What is it doing? Why is it doing it? It RESISTING ROTATION. It is trying to keep from going back and around....even though it is losing. If it were rotation driven....hip rotation or shoulder rotation....it would not act as it does. It would disappear easily....but it is fighting to not go back.
4. The ABSOLUTE SUREFIRE PROOF OF BARREL TURN.....look at his lead arm. Look at his lead elbow. It is JUTTING UPWARD LIKE A MOTHER. That jut comes from LEAD ARM PRONATION. That lead arm pronation....TURNS HIS BARREL....and turns it aggressively. That lead arm pronation which is turning the barrel offers RESISTANCE TO ROTATION.....I've called it triangle turn before. It helps keep the hands and barrel back behind in The Truth position. The unusual top hand flattening early is also REARWARD RESISTANCE....it is not allowing a forward move of the arms....and then his lead arm pronates violently.
5. His scap does not push forward through the swing. The muscles that control the scap do not allow it to move. He is bending at his scap/spine junction. Which means he has strong rearward resistance....that stays behind so the rear hip/leg can pull.
And it does.
A high level hitters rearward resistance does not come from only the barrel turn. The barrel turn is the final tightener of the resistance. But the resistance comes from how they use the muscles of their back. In fact....when done properly....it feels like you swing 'with your back'.....because as the leg turns through the resistance effort of the back....THAT is where you feel the sensation....in your back. You feel the tight stretch in your back.

In the above clip....there is no sensation in your back. There is no 'pulling back and around' of the muscles of your back. Your feeling is all in your chest. You push forward from your chest....with your arms.
Jeter's swing comes from his back.
Get yourself in Nelson Cruz's position....and swing without losing that position. THAT is what's happening in this clip.....

I'm not in Cruz's stance but....You see the hand pivot. But you totally miss what this feels like in my back. My hands are turning the barrel....but MY BACK is working harder than anything....resisting....but losing to....the pivot of the leg.
What I do with the muscles of my back....in these two swings.....
They Look Very Similar....But....One Has A Corner The Other Not
.....distinquishes one from the other. The first swing I am pushing. The second swing I am whipping with a pulling rear hip/leg.
IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. to match video while doing BB/A$$.
When you coil your hip.....BUT DON'T LET THE REST OF THE TORSO COIL BACK AND AROUND.....(remember....they say keep the belly button square to the plate).....you create separation AT THE WAIST.....not in the hip socket.....THEREFORE.....YOU CAN'T CREATE A PULLING REAR LEG....therefore....you can't get the depth that all high level hitter's barrels get.
Fact.
And they know it because they won't post a clip of their hitters doing it. Ask them for a clip of one of their students. Get if privately if need be.
YOU are the one that said you must investigate. Do it.
It's beyond time for everyone to tell them to STFU until they produce evidence of their guess work.
It's your kids that they are ruining
