| July 17, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hips & Rotation Must LEAD Hands in a Powerful Swing sm182 Too much hand and snap focus ruins a swing sometime when the hands get out ahead of the hips. Not a long video but shows examples of swings with hips and body rotation leading the hands..too fast to analyze when doing it but we can make sure we get the sequence of events right and that takes care of chasing outside the rotation sm182 https://youtu.be/IZsEVWeqFcQ |

| June 30, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Dont blame SSUSA for the ball problem. I appreciate SSUSA's committment to getting the tournament schedule back on track after a horrid Covid year. They always do a great job. I think the ball affects the power of 65 and older teams the most, with the younger athletes still powering homeruns. Still a great game and with patience... lumber, softballs and toilet paper will soon be in good supply. |

Old Roys Swing SM173 Wanting to get on a SSUSA tournament team, Roy could run and field but not hit at the proper level. He developed a focus of good hip and shoulder rotation, pulling the lead arm within the rotation to the point of contact with good follow thru for improved consistency and much higher ball exit speed.

| April 4, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Total Knee Replacement.."A Softball Athlete's 3 month Video Diary" Sm 165 Mike, your statement that you were never fast, but neither is a glacier, is an anthem that all slow guys will repeat forever. haha I do remember you posting on your progress when you had your knee done and it really helped me to understand its not as daunting a task as some make it seem. I think if your an athlete and used to dealing with pain and injury, its going to be alot easier than if your on a computer all day for your only physical activity. |
| April 3, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Total Knee Replacement.."A Softball Athlete's 3 month Video Diary" Sm 165 As a 67 year old athlete, what can be expected in total knee replacement and how fast you can get back.

| Feb. 27, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2005 Seattle SSUSA Worlds 80s Age Bracket, a short video clip These guys would be 95 or older now, but thought someone might recognize a friend or opponent..very short clip. I was 52, my first SSUSA tourney. Playing 50 Major we lost to the Road Dogs, who won the grand slam in the finals. I was impressed with the level of play in my division but blown away when I watched a bit of the 80s. My dad had been a very good athlete but at 60 had a stiff old body. What SSUSA provided as an incentive for athletes to keep in shape and keep going at the 80s was an unreal lesson I learned. At 67, and coming off the first knee replacement, there has to be some motivation to keep in shape..and playing senior softball provides it for a large group of us. Thank You! I remember the spectacular Mount Rainier being seen at the fields and driving up it to sight see...and of course meeting Art "Bash" Eversole! https://youtu.be/MQHEHImfRI8 |
| Feb. 25, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Drive & UNWIND of the HIPS, Finish Planting the Front Foot on a Good Rotation sm160 Great swings show that its a wind and unwind within the push of the stride, that eventually finishes the plant of the front foot as body rotates and torques open. This helps us from just landing on the front foot hard and THEN rotating...losing all linear power that can be best converted to rotational power in the swing. https://youtu.be/4YZG8IadGgA |
| Feb. 19, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jason Branch Swing Demo...Incredible Explosion of Hips and Torque of Body Incredible to see the power this 40+ Pro Player generates. Push off back foot while hips wind, then front foot races back to become a brace and the rotation of the hips and body explode against the front leg. Good demonstration of its done properly https://youtu.be/Z0KnOVn8AAc |
| Feb. 15, 2021 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lead Arm Guides & Powers a Rotational Swing SM159 Feel rotation of hips and upper body pull lead arm to snap point and beyond to full finish.
