Twist the core vs THT/BHT


Posted by: THG () on Tue Jun 24 10:59:08 2008


Jack Mankin. Is there a real difference between twisting the core and applying the forces of THT/BHT?

David Wright and Manny Ramirez appear to twist their core backward significantly before shoulder rotation. This leads to a tremendous rotational transfer of the weight.

I am not saying they do not applying THT/BHT torque, but the torque in the hands is harder to recognize.

Personally, I have tried THT/BHT with mixed results. I usually end up hit the ball long but foul when I concentrate on the hands and their application of the principles. When I think more in terms of twisting the core muscles (without emphasis on what the wrists are doning) in unison with the inward turn the results are better batspeed and a more consistent swing.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
