  • How to hold a softball bat and hit a fastball.... Typical Expert Village Idiot video

  • @DirtBiker205 I'm real proud of you that you learned the medical terminology in your middle school bio class, but that doesn't change the fact that they're all "knuckles". Joints are movable, the metacarples are stationary, that's all fine & dandy, I'm not arguing any of that. I'm just saying they're all considered knuckles. Read your own post, you just agreed with that and referred to them all as knuckles, I'm not sure what you're arguing about or what you think I'm trying to say.

  • @thekth You can keep doubting all you want, look it up kid. You're wrong. Your Knuckles are your Metacarpals, your lower "knuckles" - joints which normal people call them are called your phalanges.

    Learn anatomy before you speak lol. The definition of a joint is - the point of connection between two bones or elements of a skeleton (especially if it allows motion) Your Metacarpals are stationary, your phalanges or joints are movable. get owned

  • @DirtBiker205 I seriously doubt I'm the only one, since that's what they are. You're probably the only one that calls them your phalanges instead of knuckles.

  • @thekth Well, I think you're the only one that considers joints as knuckles. The knuckle is actually called the metacarpals and the other "knuckles" I assume you're referring to are your phalanges. If that's the case, they are nothing alike. I don't consider a phalange even close to a metacarpal.

  • @DirtBiker205 The joints in your fingers are also considered knuckles. I'm assuming this guy means the 2nd set of knuckles should align with the 1st set (base set). Otherwise I don't see how you'd get a good swing.

  • How to hold the bat for a fastball? How the hell do you know the pitcher is going to throw a fastball, telepathy?

  • LOLZ

  • You might be a lefty then. I had a friend who had his right hand bottom and was a righty and he later found out that he hit better lefty.

  • yea but ty cobb was just angry... thats why he could hit so well... he was always just so angry...
