Re: Re: Re: Head Position

Have many guys here spent time checking the head poitions and movement of the better major league hitters? Checking from stance to load....from load to footplant.......from footplant to contact......from contact to extension. I have a grid in one of the systems I use and have found that of the better hitters that I looked at, Bonds had the least amount of head movement and Shawn Green the most.

All good hitters do hit with a straight front leg, but some are more against it, then on top of it. Do you understand on-top of the leg vs. against the leg? If not, never mind. If you do, who's more against it and who's more on top...as it relates to head movement. All the front legs will be straight regardless of how they get there.
