Re: Developing Bat Speed ??

> Question? --- Nothing that takes place below the armpits - not weight shift - not squashing the bug - not popping the hips - not the kinetic chain - not fast twitch muscles, etc., has any influence on developing bat speed -- other than their contribution to shoulder rotation. True or false?
> False. True enough, bat speed will be generated from rotating the shoulders back and then forward, that is, 'cocking' the bat (hands) back before exploding forward. However, I have to believe that if my body, "from the armpits down" were somehow encased in concrete, I would generate significantly less bat speed.
