Re: Re: scap load vs.inward turn


Posted by: () on Tue Sep 9 20:11:34 2003


A problem that some of my hitters are having is that when they load they seem to be turning their whole upper body in as they stride and I can see their head being strained or turning in slightly causing vision problems.I have had them hit with no shirts on and it appears that they never get actually loaded properly[no pinch in rear scap] though they have rotated in alot and moved their hands back.This is being counter productive not only in the load but also their vision.Has anyone seen this or have thoughts

> rql, I see it quite a lot. My thoughts on (over rotation-over load)
would be to get the youngsters to have their shoulders square and then as they start their stride, to just turn in slightly with their shoulders. Show them pics of the good big leaguers and then show them pics of themselves and you should not have much trouble changing them.

> Doug,
If you have them rotate their shoulders they invariably will pull their head back also... now you've created a real problem with vision. If you have them adduct their rear scapula the head remains stationary and the gun is now loaded... now just continue with tht and you've got the beginning of tremendous batspeed.
