He sure looks likes he "actively" thrusts. Except for Pitch Elbow, I see Hitting Alignments.
There are two possibilities;
1. He should thrust from Punch elbow. That would be an interesting experiment.
2. He is the missing link between Hitters and Swingers. From the lost tribe.
3. You can hit from Pitch despite the fact you may technically be pulling.
It struck me that this might be as close to "hitting from pitch" as you can get...
On the day in question he was hitting the ball anywhere and everywhere...left...right...straight...
No wonder. He's got too many hitting alignments and he's still swinging. It kinda looks pretty good in Slow Motion. He's angle Hinging today. His Right Elbow is away from his normal location and he's releasing a little earlier than normal.
His coach isn't doing him much good if he can't itemize His alignments in a stroke pattern and give him a checkup when his swing is off the reservation.
You're seeing too much Fuzzy Grey area. You need to see a Doctor. Make an appointment. Let me know in 7 months how it goes.
That's pretty funny Daryl.
It reminds me of an old joke about the Soviet Union. The punch line being something like; "....... oh, I cant see the doctor in 7 months! Thats the day my plumber is coming to fix the toilet." Years ago I took a course in comparative economics and the prof was a Russian ex pat who started every class by telling one joke about Capitalism and one about Command Economies. He was like a Russian Henny Youngman.
D, I know you are probably writing all this stuff from the fine dining section at Spiaggia, so here's a couple of suggestions:
1. If you really want to man up, move over to the cafe side and order some meat. Hitters dont admire chins drapes and post modern decor.
2. Stop living off your past laurels........the "Disco Demolition Night" at Cominsky Park was not LAST night, after all. You saved Muskrat Love anyways.
3. I know you are protecting your Queen, Left Hand Wrist Cock and your King, Automatic Snap Release. Thats what this is really about isnt it!
I agree with mb...the "top" position is a drive loading position...
This would then easily move to punch elbow position...but he manipulates the right forearm to get into pitch elbow instead...and appears to have an acc 1 thrust (active) to get his hands so far forward at impact...like Trevino impact...BUT his weight through impact is very much on his left heel...which I usually assume is a rotary motion postion...like a swinger... alot of mixed components...
is he using active right arm thrust from pitch elbow but on line square plane line (I believe Yoda does an "online" hitting procudeure but from punch elbow) rather than the cross line motion that Ted uses? (ie. angle of approach)
