if you keep teaching other kids to swing that way, my son will have a better chance of making it to the show.

terrible.. there is no hip rotation.. thats how brian schinder swings and he sucks

[awesomeperson917]

you can get injured like that and your front foot will open a little bit its natural...your gonna screw up big time listinin to this dude



[cozygunsmoke]

great drill for all the people that only think power this is good because you dont open up so wide and lose your balance and bail or step away from the pitcher and power comes from a load and a planted back foot and hip rotation and alot of power comes from how you hit the ball in the sweet spot or meat of the bat.

man if you teach kids on your team to hit like that its gonna look like a bunch of pussys you wont get any power from that swing

Average stride length (measured from the belly-button forward) is about 17 inches. As long as you can stay balanced with good posture, keep hands back and then be on time, stride length personal.

Ted Williams had a front foot angle of 78-degrees, not closed off at 90 like you guys are saying. It should open a little, up to 45 degrees, to allow full hip rotation.

Either hes wrong or my coach is wrong.... my coach told me TO rotate my front foot to gather more power so u can swing ur arms with ur hips harder

[Hambone7217]

yes, you want to keep your front side closed to contact, but the rest of the mechanics demonstrated here were shit and he hits a weak ground ball to prove it.

front foot was good but there is no weight on the back foot
