Cal's homer


Posted by: RQL () on Wed Jul 11 19:33:36 2001


Did anyones newspaper give a good still shot of cal at contact.Mine showed the straight front knee and sone rear knee turn but not as much as we would think perfect.Head was down and we must make a larger issue with that than we do.Cal's rear elbow was well out of the 90 at contact but his front one was well connected to the front shoulder.What interested me the most was that I could see the bottom wrist torquing the bat.His wrist was not in line with the arm it was torquing out front out of line and the top hand was torquing forward bringing the rear elbow out of the 90.This is an important part of hitting and Jack has said that 50% of bs comes from this but I don't think we give enough credit to it and I think we give to much credit to shoulder turn for creating torque.Soon I well express an anology to show my position.
