Weightshift/Power


Posted by: Hitting Guru (hitman3527@aol.com) on Sun Mar 12 23:04:27 2006


Though Jack Mankin has made it clear to me that linear movement has no effect on distance hitting, I cannot help but notice the linear movement of Ichiro Suzuki. It appears Ichiro uses a dramatic weight shift combined with a rotational swing in order to pull pitches for homeruns. I have a problem believing his weight shift does not contribute to his power. From what I see, the inertia going forward of his entire body contributes to added distance when timed correctly. I await anyone's comments/explanation who would dispel this as false.
