The check swing

[Mark H]

Certainly a late uncocking/unhinging of the wrists is a very good thing but I would add, if you stay connected, you can very quickly stop the swing well past home plate and after unhinging. Think about stop swings is, you can't do them very well with an unconnected swing. Makes them a good reality check.

how do you check your swing after unhinging ?

[Mark H]

By staying connected. Can't do that with a Teacherman swivel. Some of the ULL girls hit dingers with a swing I would characterize as a stop swing.

LABall, you're referring to the Posada clip. Board Member took that video and realized that it was not synced correctly. It was, in fact, two frames off. Board Member, please correct me if I'm wrong in this assertion. We were told it was an honest error and yet, knowing that the clip is off, I have continued to see references to it on other sites and have not seen it reedited. Again, Board Member, please correct me if I'm wrong in this assertion and if so, I'll post an apology.

i don't think you check an mlb swing after the wrist have unhinged.

i think a ULL homer may have resulted in the bat slowing to a near stop at contact becasue of an efficient collions between a light fast bat with a big trampolining sweetspot and a heavy ball going fast.

tankersley's dinger as a freshmen in the arizona elim game comes to mind.

I think you are mischarachterizing again. It's about a stop swing and how it can be an effective training tool.

Nah. Did you see Utley do it a couple of nights ago? Watch video.

You are correct Coach. Here is the re-sync'd clip, with the mis-sync'd clip below it:

In the clip on the right he was clearly not set up to push the fulcrum and prior to that he had not torqued the handle, so thankfully, he aborted the swing, saving himself a great deal of embarassment.

I have a question, an honest one.
What was the purpose of the clip originally?
What is the significance of it being 2 frames off?
What was it synced "TO"? (The little round circle?)

How about today's?

Lorin, it related to the "check-decision" timing.

Rich used this clip to subtantiate his position that the check decision was made 2 frames from contact:



I re-sync'd it to show the check decision was made at launch. Of course, he then claimed I "doctored the clip" to prove him wrong. I really pissed him off......again.......What else is new????:
