Re: balance problem


Posted by: TDS () on Mon Oct 13 05:09:13 2003


I just finished my college fall season, and I;ve been having this balance problem. When I keep my weight back (60-40) I start my swing by pulling my back shoulder down. I end up uppercutting too much (like Jim Edmonds) and at contact my back is bent backwards. But when I keep my weight centred, I'm lunging at contact. What can I do to get rid of this?


I myself was a lunger. The only cure that worked for me was to start with more weight on the front side (60-40). Alot of people think their (60-40) back and the reality is their closer to (80-20). The key is to make sure you stay balanced from beginging to end. One other thing I was doing was attempting to stride with my rear leg by collapsing it and then stepping forward. What you may want to try from the (60-40) on the frontside is to push the wight back to (50-50)with your front sride foot.
