Re: Short to zone...Long through zone
When I think about "short thru the zone" i am thinking about what we call "hook barrel". Basically not extending the follow-thru towards the pitcher... (good view of proper extension in the Chipper Jones clip) but instead extending towards the dugout. This is a major flaw that I see in young kids learning to rotate. ok Linear I got brave and spoke...am I out of my mind?

Re: VIDEO CLIPS PLEASE..
Linear, For God's sake man - get some surface that wont make you slide like that - that has to cause a little more pain (and effort) than necessary. IMO. Good stuff - and brave stuff - IMO.

Re: VIDEO CLIPS PLEASE..
LOL Linear, As I said before - very brave to post your stuff. Bravo!!! And pretty good quickness as well - IMO. However - even at age 48 - I would run like a wild dog on you - and steal every one. P.S. Get something on that floor so you dont slide. You are going to hurt yourself.
