Isn't it fuuny that baseball is over 100 years old and yet nobody fully understands the swing?

Great video! I am a softball hitting instructor and I teach the baseball swing. I was taught to hit by an experienced baseball player and any good softball hitter has the exact same swing. As JRM082793 said, I have never heard of someone really focusing on the distance of the elbows. Great thing to look at!

Great swing. Short to the ball and ready to drive through the baseball.

Great swing. Hands are short to the ball and ready to drive through the baseball.

I understand "hands to the ball" differently that you described in this video. "Hands to the ball" is an important component of "True Rotational Hitting." I understand "Linear Swing" to mean a linear movement where the hitter moves his weight from back to forward, after the load, stride. Thus, I think you are right on with the rotational swing components you described.

i dont really know if this is right but to get me to swing faster i just used my back hand to help push it harder

would u say that he's throwing his hands to the ball or keeping them inside the ball

At 5-11 I measured my elbow distance to be 14 inches apart, during my swing approach to the ball I was doing better when I kept them at that distance .

The reason nobody yet understands the swing is that 99&44/100 percent of the people spend their time experimenting and attempting to copy every one in sight which is the reason they make it much harder than it is build from a very successful foundation such as the best "Mr.TED WILLIAMS" and add to it as feasible.

@toyodathon08 Actually it's pretty much been figured out. 3000 frames per second don't lie. It's physics. The best hitters use rotational hitting. I haven't even watched this guys videos, but I just saw the name of his channel, so obviously he promotes it as well.

But if you read batspeed . com, you'll see the swing has very much been figured out. The good ones atleast.
