Re: Re: to brian, maybe you can clear things up

To Jack,

Your quote, “Obviously Ray, my explanation will not meet your expectations…”

Once again, Jack, you have pre-judged me. You have in prior posts - formed opinions for me, expressed my feelings for me, sensed things for me, and now you know what will meet my expectations. To which I will ask yet another question:

IS THAT FAIR?


To Brian or Jack,

Two questions still unanswered:

Re: Re: proof? ray porco Mon Apr 5 17:40:36 2004

>>>Can you show a batter with same location in the box using THT, hitting a pitch over the center of the plate and then over the outside corner without extending, thereby demonstrating what you stated?<<<

And

In this post (Re: Re: Re: Jack Mankin Sun Apr 18 00:32:44 2004) you said:

>>>Take the contact position I outlined for pitches middle-in. Back-shoulders at 105, back-arm in “L” position, bat perpendicular with “sweet spot” of the bat (contact point) against a post or bag. Now, rotate your shoulders (around a stationary axis) back to 65-degree open position while keeping the bat against the post. The bat stays perpendicular to the ball and slides out along the post as you rotate back.

As the back-shoulder rotates back around toward the post (to the 65-degree position), it shoves the lead-arm and lead-hand about 10+ inches toward the post. This causes the sweet-spot of the to slide 10+ inches out past the post for outside coverage. As you rotate toward the 65-degree position the lead-arm will cast farther from the chest.<<<

To which I replied (Re: Re: Re: Re: ray porco Sun Apr 18 05:00:46 2004):

>>>I have tried against a post. I have marked the post (contact point). I have marked my bat (pieces of tape at the sweet spot [5 inches in from bathead] and a piece of tape every inch above and below that point).

Three (3) things happened:

1. The “L” came out of my rear leg. My rear leg straightened (was forced to, to maintain contact and rotate shoulders back to 65 degrees), thus changing my axis (stake driven through head and out the butt).

2. My top hand wrist had to roll to maintain contact point.

3. The most I could get was 5 inches unless my head went forward toward the contact point (body tilt).

Am I doing something wrong? <<<
