Start of swing


Posted by: BMill (brumil2@hotmail.com) on Thu Jan 30 09:43:15 2003


I tried this question before but it got mixed in with another, so I'll try again.I need help in figuring out the start of the swing. I know this has probably been answered in past postings. I hope you guys don't get tired of answering the same questions over and over. The last couple of postings has had "loading" in the talk. I thought real loading was coming back counter rotational as far as your muscles will allow (coil tension) , something like the golf back swing. The slight counter rotation in batting, I always called the trigger. I believe the body can't perform its best smooth extremely quick motion without alerting the mind & muscles that it's coming, thus the pre-counter(trigger) to get the body ready for the explosion. I'm probaby missing something here (leg load?) , I'm sure you guys will straighten me out, just like you have on several other points. Once you decide to swing is it a one piece movement (hands, shoulders, hips as one) or do the hips lead the way? The one piece has helped some girls I coach make better contact but I have a feeling that it's not the best for bat speed.
