Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: the ultimate batting tee - cont

Hi,
> i just got a chance to take a good look at the frames of swings .I want to thank you for providing this material to me .I looked at all of the frames and some were a little tough to see the postions of the bat at the point of contact.I did however get to see the approach of the swings from where the bat started from and how it gets to the contact zone.In my opinion a lot of the pitches that were shown here were mid thigh high or below.I could see where they started there barrells from.The ultimate batting tee helps all these hitters in their approach to the ball. The pitch height has an effect on the out come agree? The ultimate batting tee can help get the bat down correctly,and keep a hitter from prematurely uppercutting wouldn't you agree?That is the purpose of the device,it also will help hitters from pulling the front side out when they approach the pitch.Isn't casting a bad habit today?The ultimate batting tee helps in this problem also.I hope your response is a little more explained than just an i don't like the product or it's garbage.Please elaborate based on facts.Thanks ERIK


Is this a "change the subject" strategy??? I said Griffey's swing wouldn't fit through your contraption. You respond by saying "It can help keep the bat down" or "it can help fight premature uppercutting" or "it helps against casting".

Almost every mlb players' barrel hits the ball from underneath. Your contraption doesn't let the barrel get underneath. Pay attention the next game you watch on TV. Hope you have TIVO. Stop a players swing at contact from the pitcher's view. The barrel is under the ball.

Most mlb players have a tilt over the plate (varying degrees) and they keep the bat perpendicular to their spine as they swing. Try that in your contraption. Don't hurt yourself.

Take a look at Erstad in Nikkio's post above. Frame 9 the barrel is under the ball.

The only way your contraption makes sense is if the bars were tilted so the bars are not one over top the other in a vertical plane, but so that the bars are tilted to allow the proper swing plane; diagonal. Of course, if you did this, you'd have no way to T up the ball. And, it would still have other problems.
