It is hard to separate weight shift and lead arm control and extension.

Whatever it may look like to you, I'm telling you the words "lead arm extension" are liable to produce nothing at all like you want if you aren't standing in front of the kid making sure. But then some dad watching and listening to you goes and teaches his whole little league team something like what you see in this clip. I try to choose verbiage with the least likely chance for misinterpretation.
I understand. But I would never have a conversation with somebody online, tell them to get some lead arm extension, without providing a picture of what I'm talking about. This is also, why I give private lessons, with the kid standing in front of me.

I find Tom and Swingbuster fuzzy and I've been studying this stuff to a fault for more years than I remember. Almost as many as Tom I think. We discussed Hanson's rule #2 last night at dinner. If it sounds fuzzy and amorphous, it's probably horsepuckey.

Well I must say I've tried really hard Buster and Tom, and most of what I read from you comes out fuzzy and amorphous.

This site has become SetPro with all the players and characteristics and a new leader that even writes like the old one. It is all about commercial support
Keep the DVD , keep the PCR
I'm done............a waste of all our time and the readers time.

No matter how hard anyone here tries, words just do not convey, with as much accuracy, the point as intended necessarily.
The Real 'issue' here is that there are people in different camps, both sides thinking they only are right, and others are plain wrong. As hard as it is to read and respond to, sometimes, for people, i really feel that the discussion, and sometimes very heated discussion, can be VERY beneficial for the 'others' here that don't live, eat, breathe this stuff.
And even if the 'others' don't get it, it can benefit the people arguing, in that they must be very descriptive in thier text or use visual aids etc. to get the appropriate point across, and not cause confusion.
I would urge all those that think that this site is to one way to continue to do what they do, and for those that get somewhat harsh to be harsh in different ways to keep it fresh!"Do not dismiss what you do not understand"

What's with the high back elbow? I thought we were getting away from that "softball" junk. It's a distraction and offers no advantage to a hitter. Many of the pro ballplayers that I have talked to have told me that it's the worst thing they were taught in Little League.

Reading your stuff over the past few months, it seems to me that you have evolved your beliefs. Suspect some influences here have been a factor. I would assume that has value to you?
As for commercial influence, no one here benefits by so much as a penny if Steve sells a CD. While he does have a commercial interest, so do you and Erik. I don't think anyone begrudges that - I hope not, anyway.
Best wishes,

Mackie
HG,
I would like to take a minute to respond to Mackie and my original post.
Certainly I was not meaning to be at all critical of anything with this little guys' swing.
When I posted the "full treatment" it was in fun and just wanted him, his Dad?, or whoever to know that we / I are looking at him and anxious to see his progress. He is not in "good hands" he is in "great hands"....
It was stated earlier (Mr. U) that he wished he had someone to help him learn to swing at a young age. Starting with (as some of us know) our kids at a later age.....well I think many of us think "If I knew then (earlier) what I think I know now, how much better chance would my son / daughter have, of being a better hitter.
My point is-----my intent was nothing other than encouragement, letting him know people here are interested in seeing him progress.
To me, the fun is not only playing, but learning to become good at it. That's real fun.
Most Sincerely,
LClifton
