StraightGrain....... do your remember that pm you sent me when I told you I got the lau jr book. You showed me a side by side clip of manny and franceour? I think that this is on the same lines.
Also, sorry everyone for the poor grammar, it should be "What are the differences between these hitters?"Last edited by Go Cardinals; 05-28-2008, 10:02 PM.Comment

The bottom group is more likely to help your fantasy team......
But seriously, they are quicker to the ball. Not straighter, but quicker. IIRC, the bat path of the top group is what Mankin advocates. The bottom group has a more "direct" path to the ball.Comment

I agree...I'm just going to word it slightly diffently (will probably get some "sparks" going with it, thoughOriginally posted by cosmo34 View Post
)...
The top group has a more "swinging up on the ball" approach.
The bottom goup has a more "down to, and thru, the ball" approach."Coaches should teach people to play better baseball, not teach baseball to make better players."

What is the context of each swing?Originally posted by Go Cardinals View Post
They may look different because you are comparing apples and oranges. Pujols' good swings look very different than his bad swings.
To detect actual differences in people's swings, you have to compare good swings where the batter wasn't fooled and didn't get lucky.Obsessed with Pitching Mechanics.Comment

Fields is taking an "upward" approach.Originally posted by XV84 View PostWhat about these two hitters?
Braun is taking a "downward" approach.Last edited by StraightGrain11; 05-29-2008, 07:07 AM."Coaches should teach people to play better baseball, not teach baseball to make better players."
