tips for hitting with more power

Teach - the "blur" behind the head.

I love it baby. You are the best. LOL

Lets stay on point Teach.

Do this:

Take one of your claymation robots. Give the robot a "wrist - arm - hand strength factor" of 7.

Then copy and paste that exact claymation robot - but bump up the "wrist - arm - hand strength factor" to 9.

Then watch the claymation movies that ensue.

Then - just shut up and try some other topic - because this one aint working for you.

Sniff, sniff......

With the exception of the dog "sniffs" - the silence is deafening - and appropriate. LOL

Where you been blue dog?

He's been in your cyber backyard - teach. LOL

Now - switch.

Interesting discussion-- a scout who has been in the business for years and is quite well respected in the baseball world ( yes I have checked him out)and "pizza man" who can't tell us who he has helped (I tried to check him out but nobody knows who he is)

I know who I listen to and who I want my kids to listen to

As for Blue Dog and his snipe at me--that is all he can do is snipe-- no substance no nothing

They both follow gurus

I listen to "baseball men" not shills

Goodnight Gracie!!!!

Nice p issing match fellows.

It’s hard to believe in this day and age of video that someone still believes that, “Flicking the wrist” is the key source of power. It’s even harder to believe that others defend it.

If you want to drive the ball, rotate and use your body parts in unison. If you get fooled, flick your wrists and make contact but don’t expect the ball to go anywhere.

Look, I'm going to replace "flicking the wrists" with "good quick wrist action." It still means the exact same thing to me but may clear up some confusion with others. I'm reading these posts and wondering if TMan or BDog or whoever else actually played baseball. I find it hard to believe that they did because if you have ever swung a bat, you would know the answers. Of course, maybe they played and couldn't hit very well so they actually don't know. Either way, you're wrong. Hey, why do you think a lot of pro players have their pinky and ring finger off the bat when they swing? It's the power guys that do this because it helps give them more leverage to get those wrists through quickly. (Swing a bat like this and you'll see what I'm talking about).

I Coach May says, I tell it like it is.

This is poppeycock!

"Quick wrists" is the standard line used by all coaches who don't know WTF is really going on.

You've heard it many times, "Hank Aaron had the quickest wrists I've ever seen". Hogwash. The people saying that just don't know what he's doing that gives that appearance.

Finally...."Watch how late the bathead goes through the zone for a great hitter." Sorry, but if he's a great hitter, the bathead went through the zone on time.

Look at this....



If the wrists are so important, can you explain why the bat blurs (from moving so fast) while it's still behind her head??????

I want you to get your video camera out. I want you to set up in your stance and use your wrists and duplicate this "early" blur. Please post the clip.

I wonder if the camera is just not that great in the clip of the young girl? The reason I ask, is that there is no blur in the clip of Barry Bonds. Does the girl have more batspeed than Barry?

Does this make you feel better??



One complete blur.

Because they turn the direction of the knob and they don't do it with their wrists, moron.

Study a little bit.

BTW, I played and still play. And, I hit.

And, you've got the same challenge I gave hsballcoach. Get out your video camera. Create the comedy entitled...."I'm trying to make my bat blur behind my head using my wrists"

It will be funny.

TEACH

Can we have your guru's link one more time-- claymation tells it all

Please -the link for the newbies --and do we get incense free when we honor the Grail of the Guru?

TR,

Why are you talking about "claymation" when Teach is posting real people including your personal hero Barry to make his point?

TR, do you agree that hitters generate a lot of their power by flicking their wrists. Do you think Barry is doing this in the real video supplied by Teach?

No blur behind the head like the young girl has.

See what you want to see. Clearly the bat disappears while it's still behind his head.

Are you still a moderator here?

MN-Mom.............DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!!

TR knows nothing about hitting a baseball. Yet, he is allowed to interfere with those who do by continually offering personal attacks.

I can take the personal attack when I'm discussing a topic with someone who is knowledgeable or offering substance to the discussion. In fact, I have offered a few of those attacks. Usually, we each can defend ourselves. This exchange between bbscout and myself is a good example. No hard feelings. Mutual respect even though we disagree passionately. He's not offended by it. Neither am I.

But, TR has never offered any substance to discussions on throwing or hitting.

In fact, his own words are "I leave that to my coaches".

Yet, he gets involved over and over and over and is given pass after pass after pass.

If all I did was attack people, you would have eliminated me long ago. That is all he does in discussions of hitting and throwing. You know, everyone knows I offer good substance to the subject. That is why I'm allowed here. You put up with my personality as long as it's within reason. DO THE SAME WITH THE SENILE.

I don't enter his world of recruiting and showcases. I know little about them.

Why is he allowed here??

I'm tired of PM's supporting me anonymously because you don't have the guts to stand up for what is right. You, who know who you are are needed. Tell the *** to keep his nose where it belongs. Show your face. Have some guts.

You continue to "herd" with the rest of them.

Pull the plug on this guy.

Even LaTx and hsballcoach offer something.

Of course, the whloe body working well provides the best swing, but you are missing the point. The point is that the hands, wrists and arms supply some of the power...

IMO - BBscout's simple - yet accurate - statement bears repeating. It is not blurry. It is crystal clear actually LOL

All the rest of this stuff - is simply nonsensical diversion from the main point.

Nah - you never attack people. LOL

TEACH

You are too sensitive-- that wasnt a personal attack--just asking to post that link one more time for the newbies--

As for what I know or dont know about hitting, dont go there--you might not like what you find if we went one on one live in a cage with students. I get results not pictures and words

You have shown me nothing and apparently others are seeing "thru" you as well,

SBK--use his link and see what you find-- then get in my face.
Let me ask you this, if I am a moderator am I supposed to change my style--not on your life--I am me baby and I will always be me-- a title does not make me change ME

There is the difference in our thinking SBK-- I always remain true to myself --you don't-- you never will

That dont make you a bad guy either--
