Swings that break all the rules


Posted by: Rocky (rmussadi@gmail.com) on Tue Jun 17 15:16:41 2008


I read this sight constantly and truly believe in the concepts espoused. However, just about every night on the baseball highlights shows and team websites I see homerun blasts with mechanics which seem to go against everything taught here. One example, is the 3-run homer by John Bowker of the SF Giants (vs Tigers):

His bat speed seems very low, his arms are extended at contact, the swing plane is warped, and I don't see any bht since both arms are extended. How can such a seemingly effortless swing generate so much power?
