Chipper Jones hitting mechanics

[datk0z]

Ya for a small camera great vid quality.

[laflippin]

@datk0z Thanks, datk0z. Unfortunately, the EX-F1 is no longer being manufactured by Casio...not sure why. They have some other, cheaper cameras that will do high speed video rates, but the resolution on those is not as good as the EX-F1.

mlb the show?

[getemnate11]

the bird just makes it more awesome 

[ArmyMenProductions36]

It looked like he swung with all arms, like a change-up that he tried to wait up on, or something, but waited too late. Awesome video, though.

[tng150]

lol at the bird flying over

[xBrianxR]

@tng150 i know. i thought that the shadow of the bird was the ball

[bigred2289]

What kind of camera are you using for these shots? I know it can't be anything too big or fancy or they wouldn't let you in the park with it.

[laflippin]

@bigred2289 You're right...I use a Casio EX-F1 @ 300 fps. It's a very small hybrid camera--it does standard video w/ audio, stills, hi-def video w/ audio, and the feature that I like best: high speed video that plays back as smooth slo-mo.

[MrBaseballBeast5]

he was out on his front knee. my hittin coach screams at me all the time for not waitin on the ball

[pgoody]

I know it was slow-mo, but get out of the box already Larry...

[truthseeker5572]

The weird part is that the position of his bat is parallel to the ground as he goes to toe touch, then perpendicular as he strides, then parallel again when he plants.

[TheAstros1]

I agree, there's alot going on before he makes contact. I've never noticed that. Thanks for the video!

[klehnen]

wow, i've never actually watched chipper's swing in slowmo like this. there's a lot going on in that swing.

[Potrod]

He's pretty late on that one. Possibly because that bird got in his way.

[dchappelleshow]

@Potrod it's an outside pitch

[buckfever32123]

@dchappelleshow Yep... take outside pitches to opposite field

[MarsHottentot]

AH! That's a BIRD!
