Re: Re: Re: bonds homer against the cubs


Posted by: rql () on Sat May 3 05:04:28 2003


in that game last night against the cubs where he hit 2 homers. how in gods name did he hit that 2nd homer that ball was so inside and he still got the barrel of the bat on the ball, without a doubt he is the best ever!

I didn't see it, but I would also guess that it was coupled with a little pulling of the hands toward the body to shorten the radius of rotation. To see this in action, go to a batting cage and as close as possible to the plate to make the pitch look inside as possible. Then try to hit the ball up the middle. To do this there can only be rotation and pulling of the hands in like Bonds. You can't push the bat around using the top hand.

.Don't forget posture difference between the 1st and 2nd homeruns,two different locations 2 different swing programs to attack it.The hooking handpath and staying inside the ball in a rotational sense is what kept it fair.
