The whip crack and the bat swing!!


Posted by: swingbuilder (crjedwards@aol.com) on Thu Feb 3 12:39:37 2005


The crack of a whip and the swinging of the bat.....well they work in perfect harmony!!! The front leg acts as the HAND and stops the momentum of the movement forward(now the head stays at center = rotation). Now the energy is then transfered up through the body out to the hands and into the barrel of the bat ( same as cracking the whip ). If however, the momentum wasn't stopped by the front leg ( stride leg ) then the head couldn't stay at center and this approach would be labeled as LINEAR ( Linear = when the momentum isn't stopped and the head moves forward of center. Wouldn't this be how you see it???
