I went on a binge of studying the swing. Even looked at some old clips of myself and could see what I was doing well and not well.
It all came together, all the information that I once heard or thought of all came together.
Not all swings are created equally. There is no such thing as a ML swing. Some have great swings and others are just OK. When I say there is no such thing as ML swing, I mean you don't have to gifted or born to have a good swing. Having a good swing with not mean you will be great or reach the ML level. Being athletic might help and perhaps they can get the muscles to do things not everyone can do. But', if your following any of Jim Dixon's theory and built your assumptions after his theory, you are more then likely going to be as wrong as Dixon. Dixon never helped a single hitter. His theory that you don't use the arm/hands or the legs and some how a movement system does all of that for you, is deeply flawed. No one can lay claim that they have produced a ML hitter. And if Sean Dixon new information is based on any of the information from his father, then I don't even want to hear or see it.
If my thinking is right, I would have to field test it first, then a swing is very simple. If I'm right there is no reason why almost anybody can't have a good swing or mechanics.
There is alot of information on what a is good swing. And while there are many fine points made about the swing, seldom have I heard it all put together. And sometimes they really don't know. And sometimes the information will do absolutely nothing to help. Only if the student did it the correct way, regardless of the information, would that information be of any value. There might be better ways of doing it, I think there is better way.
Perhaps the most important factor, is what triggers the swing? And we could say that everything up until the swing is acting as a trigger. Which would be correct. But, there is an action which all of that is done must build up. What is this action, what really triggers the swing?
