quote:Swingbuster, I won't indulge in this topic too much since I've vowed to not go mud wrestling. However, we load with a slight (SLIGHT) rotation of the shoulders. We also have gone almost exclusivly to "Heal-Toe" for our base. This enables us to "coil" or "flex" and be ready to uncoil. We picked this up from the baseball Cardinals. Pujos and Edmonds both do this in their own ways. Listen as they both hit one day on the field.
Thanks for an honest, sincerely reply
My simple point is this. You can keep your same base( I personally like it) and experiment
( yes they will not break) with different hand positions and bat slots. **** the bat
( tipping toward the pitcher)out from the rear collar bone at about the same height. Have the bottom hand under the top and the bat in a verticle plane ( as seen from behind).This will facilitate a great shoulder load ( as natural as throwing) and all you have to say is "start it there and relax your hands and hit". Watch what happens .....
