Staying inside the ball using rotational mechanics is one of the 4 core movements of all great hitters

what does it mean to not have broken wrists at contact

Joke!!

Nice looking swings by all of them. Not sure about the insider bat though, like all training tools if over used, can create bad habits elsewhere.

@16victor Make sure your don't mean back elbow leading. The second hitter is an example of that. Read my replies that should be right under this comment.

@rcglert If your elbow leads, by the time your reach prime bat lag, your rotation of the hips and torso is almost done. Then it becomes a linear movement of the hands extending because your body has stopped rotating. If the hand leads the elbow, when you get to prime bat lag, you are still rotating, so most efficiently, rotating wouldn't stop until contact, so your still using your hip rotation and big muscles for power. Not your arms.

@rcglert He is not saying the hands lead the hips. He's saying the elbow leading the hands. What are you talking about? No major league hitter has the elbow lead the hands. That means there is deviation among the angles, and to compensate you HAVE to prematurely rollover.  If the elbow leads the hands, then the bathead goes backwards, instead of going in an arc SLIGHTLY behind the hitter, but not much lower than his shoulder.

@dodgernick thank you. I was just about to comment about that. I think I still will, but glad to see there actually IS people on an online community such as youtube that know what they're talking about.

@atupid91 Ofcourse you think that. Because you think linear mechanics are the way to hit. I don't care what you THINK. Your just another idiot arguing physics with something his little league and highschool coaches taught him. And no, I don't care if you played college or pro ball. Your wrong. It's physics and biomechanics. There's still energy in a direction on a rotational axis. If your back shoulder rotates, when it rotates forward at a high speed, and stops, your back foot may lift.

[atupid91]

this is not a "rotational swing"... he's shifting his weight to the front side, thats why his back foot is heel up at point of contact.. THATS THE RIGHT SWING! good job. the kid in the greens foot isnt even on the ground when he hits the ball... that shows that he tranfered the wieght, not just "stayed back" and rotated. (also just for the record, staying inside the ball, in my opinion, is the most important element of the swing)

Inisder bat is a great teaching tool...and thanks for sharing you ideas behind the top level swing.

Only wish you hitters had more separation.
