"No sound advice for the boy.....HMMMMMM, oh yeah, hit the bag. Clips are not the issue......the issue is how does one arrive at those positions in the clips."

Positions? You do understand I'm talking about video clips, not stills?




"I see the same thing you see in the clips, this we agree on."

What is the "this" that we agree on?





"Every kid I've ever worked with has improved, power/average."

Really? Every last one of them? Wow! Hats off to you!




"Every great hitter I've had the pleasure of knowing has excelled at pepper......a hand game. This is the foundation of a great swing, it builds bat head awareness, how bat angles effect ball flight, how the body get's in the right positions to hit, and how not to hit past the ball."

Hmmm.


"You've avoided the main question repeatedly"

Sorry. I thought I was the one asking questions in an attempt to discern your message.

"(Major)"

Major?



"and it is my belief that we have different agendas."

Wouldn't know. Tell me what your agenda is and I'll tell you if your belief is right.


"I am not searching.....I'm saying I get to all of those positions in the clips, have always hit for average and power, etc."

Great. Now explain it clearly like Jack, Mike, Paul, Tom or any of many other lesser knowns do. Or not.



"Never once did I need to hit a heavy bag (not that there is anything wrong with that), but ultimately it's about making swing changes that impact the player."

Now see, there's where you drive me crazy. The whole sentence is just useless hedging and or generalities. You didn't actually say ANYTHING, but it all sounds very smooth, wise and zen like...until you look for substance. You don't hit the bag, but it's OK to do so. Well now there's an opinion we can take to the bank. You say "ultimately it's about making swing changes that impact the player". Well SHAZAM! Why didn't we think of that. Making swing changes that impact the player. That's where all these instructors are going wrong. See what I mean?

"For the sake of the kids you impact......I wish you well, and thanks for saving me from myself. You WIN!!!!! "

I could only win if I convinced you to be clear and concise. Or at least clear. Tom could never do concise, but he has always darn sure been clear and detailed. : )
