THT "STILL" not Identified?


Posted by: Jim E. () on Mon Aug 9 06:27:06 2004


Jack,

Below is my original post from a few days ago for which I did not get a response. What I have noticed is numerous THT/BHT questions and confusion. I suppose these responses are my answer in that THT is just NOT that easy to identify after all.

Incidentally, you explain THT very well, I do basically grasp the concept BUT... I just don't know how you identify the "action" as being specifically THT and not something else?

I'll try again:
What identifiable trigger (lack of better word) do you "see" that specifically tells you it is THT?

Here is original post:

Great site you have here.

I have read numerous post on the THT topic here at your site but am most confused when you or other posters say how clearly you can "see" THT in player X's swing etc.

For example,I can see the bathead being taken back toward the catcher but how can I know this action is being caused by THT and not just a less
active result other than a "bow string pull" type of action? I mean, I can bring back my hands the same way without necessarily using such force to do so just by shrugging my back shoulder. So how do you determine/identify the movements as THT?

Thanks!
