Need help on the outside pitch

quote:

Do you have a demo clip of someone using it? If he buys one, he still may need you to answer those questions though.

This is Donnie's (Swingbuster's product)....I have one and use it regularly...

The purpose is to use your hitting theory and see the results.....Then, decide if you need to re-think something......

It is easy for any of us to argue with each other about hitting theory on here......

But, you can't argue with the results on the "Infinit-Tee"....

What do you have to do to hit the outside part of the plate pitch?....Is carrying the weight forward important?.....Is carrying the hands and arms forward important?...Is that part of your hitting theory?....If not, should you make it so?

So, are the things that hold the ball rubber? Do they crank down kind of like a "C" clamp? Would he have a clip of someone using it? I like using tees to work with my students, but they are limiting in a way.

The things are rubber and swivel apart very easily....This product is quite unlimiting with a good swing....And, quite limiting with a bad swing.....That is why it is so useful....

Yes, to all of these questions. I believe you have to transfer your bodyweight from backside to frontside, but I believe there is an optimal way to do it and that is what I try to teach. I like John Cohen's drills that teach rotational mechanics but to channel your momentum or energy in a direct line through the ball. Like I've said on here before, the more momentum you have getting to the ball will make the ball go faster off of the bat, but IMO the more your eyes/head moves after you start to the ball with your hands the harder it will be to time the pitch or to hit it on the sweet spot. Notice I didn't say it was impossible, just more difficult.

I try to incorporate mathematics into my theory and I think that was what Ted Williams figured out. That is why like it said in the promo for the Infinit-Tee, "most MLB hitters have a slight upswing."

So, are you saying that the hitter will be able to figure out what he's doing on his own if he uses this product or will it just make it obvious that he is doing SOMETHING wrong?

That depends on his IQ.

Wouldn't it depend on his knowledge of his swing? Figure Einstein could hit the sinker?

Does the ball sink off the InfiniTEE?

An 8 year old can hit off of a tee. Do you think they could hit Maddox???

Im working hard to become a better speller. I hate looking silly... I will not call out anyone for thier spelling knowing how difficult our language can be.

Maybe...Garry Maddox is about 57 or 58 years old...

You've got the bob and weave down.

You go from "can a hitter figure out what he's doing wrong using the InfiniTEE"...to..."can Einstein hit the sinker"...to..."can an 8 yr old hit Maddux".

Add the rope a dope and you're a boxer.

I recommend you study some hitting video.

Dude, you were the one who made the "IQ" quote. Was there an intelligent point to that comment???

I have been studying hitting video since I was about 25 years old and we come to different conclussions. My students hit the ball very well. I could really care less what you think of my hitting theory.

Maddox - Maddux

Oops! You got me Deemax! It's a shame you couldn't respond to the thread in an intelligent manner.

Your right, maybe I should follow your lead with intelligent posts. You have been right on track the whole time and I continue to lead you astray. Please continue to inform the readers of this thread how Aaron, Ruth, Clemente, Mays, Ripken, Thomas, and 90%ish of the other hall of famers are moving forward to much again. I will refrain from interupting your brilliant teachings and unarguable truths about hitting any further, because you have so many facts to back up your hogwash uneducated guess theory.

You haven't studied enough.

Swing a bat along with it.

Is the infiniTEE small enough for 7-10 year olds to use?

nevermind, I read the description...

You don't lead anyone anywhere! Do you have your hitting theory written down somewhere? Put it on here so it can be evaluated. Again, put the list of Major or Minor League hitters you have taught to hit like the names you've listed above. You and Chameleon are like Politicians, you can only say that someone elses ideas are wrong, but you never give your COMPLETE plan or theory of how to do things the right way.

I hit .515 as a Senior in High School with 12 home runs. I can swing a bat. Although, that was in 1976.
