Find your max power. This is one attribute off how small guys hit the ball so far. When the back elbow works like this from technique you’ll hit the furthest ball of your life. It feels like shattering a ball. Add to that a barrel path w/ no bind/pure inertia. 200lbs 500’. 1&2😎

The pause in the loading is like metronome timing. The metronome never really feels like it’s stops. During the pause the stretch reaches the point of being ready to burst..rhythm loading with a pause and body charges up. After the drills put it all together with the metronome

Same load, clamped rear hip..”showing the cleats to the pitcher” happens when with proper back hip leg action taking place. Better loading than the righty Japanese player. Sadahuru Oh left a legacy and obviously some MLB greats have been through there as well.

Ted Williams said to cock the hips and that’s exactly what he’s doing. Why would anyone teach no coil or cocked hips? The amount of coil in this move is so much stronger than any other method I’ve felt. If you took cocking the hips away from this swing he wouldn’t hit .220

Ted Williams method is the way. Those with out front in their vocabulary while learning to swing will ruin the chance of finding potential. “Cock and stride, stay back,don’t go out there to get it”…I’ve argued with so many people who have no clue what he’s saying. Listen!

Watch out for the scout who says “to small”..that’s a lazy scouting report. Acuna scouting report “to small”..did they not see a whippy bat through the ball which is uncommon. They like the big guys that bench press the ball out. Burnout rate on those are high.

For the most part we should only have one swing. Often we are so worried about speed and location we end up having 4 different swings in mind and miss when they miss. Master one launch one swing location first. The adjustment from there is tiny. Only adjustment is up

If you come in and hit with me ask me to show you the rhythmic “clock in” drill 1st. Along with the three ways the load is ruined. This is more important than the swing.

I did an exhaustive study on JD. He’s emphatic about loading through the heel, so much so he wants his rear toes to come of the ground. He doesn’t want to release the heel early. I notice guys who don’t load this way, load the quad and they pop up. This rear foot is on purpose

This is the “Acuna turn” which is my favorite path, handset to install. It’s not for everyone but it’s playing well for many in proball. This pitch was 100mph. Swing depth is sick and it’s down by design

I heard @Teacherman1986 say we need a “pull back against the move out” many of my guys still don’t do it because they are front chain dominant. You can’t, it impossible, to load the back leg without it. The muscle group used to load are the ones that will swing. Let’s find it…

Josh Donaldson started the swing revolution. He challenged the narrative of chopping down on the ball. However, Ted Williams was way ahead of him. Ted took a string from release point to strike zone which showed optimal bat path was down to slightly up. Science of plane matching

Key in on the MLB logo thats at the base of the neck, it must remain stable. One move, Ferris wheel, matching tilts keep it stable, getting on plane correctly frees up the entire system, especially the head. Vision, balance, smooth. If it looks bad it is.

Why are we swinging at balls in BP? Unless it’s hit and run, why swing at trash pitches? Look for something decent in BP or don’t swing. The Rep where you don’t swing ask, “did I get in a good position?” That’s better practice than swinging all over the place..that’s regressing.

One legged swing with back control. Downhill into the hold of the back. A rearward barrel never gives up the stretch. There has to be a torsion load in the rear leg. When executed correctly the thought can be get the knob past the inside of the ball. Like @ABREG_1 talks about.
