| June 3, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Babe Ruth's Swing side by side compared to top Senior and Conference hitters...SM short https://youtu.be/6lJjiSTxvNY No coaching to speak of in his era, or that of Ted Williams, Mantle, Aaron and other old time greats. Some just developed a natural power swing with both linear and rotational elements. Amazing how similar to slowpitch pros and how in the 70s to even today, the teaching of college and pro teams differ from what these great were doing.

| April 22, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jason Branch teaches Hitting Mechanics, Power and Place Hitting. SM#71 Bill your observation is right on..some of the best hitters have a thought or focus of what they are trying to do but the end result is often different. Jason talks of swinging down and his hand path is slightly down from a high start to ball impact, but the bathead...from lag to snap, is mostly slightly up..perhaps due to his rotation leveling it off. Easy to misunderstand stuff..without trial and error. He's fun to watch. |
| April 16, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jason Branch teaches Hitting Mechanics, Power and Place Hitting. SM#71 One of the smaller mens major players, does an amazing job of detailing his mechanics, and how he adjusts from basehitting and placement, to power hitting. A Long Haul Bomber with stadium power, he maximizes the power he can get with his size and does an excellent job showing improvements, we as rec hitters can achieve. Jason is leadoff hitter for SIS/Scene the 2017 Mens Major World Champions. Swing Makeover #71 www.sportstechnique.com https://youtu.be/AxAAn4qHMto |

| March 31, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pro Golfer Eagles lesson and levels uppercut swing with new Power Punch drill SM#70 Granted Tyler is a top level athlete, but he had the most common problem we see, an uppercutting swing. This simple drill gave him a different focus and one of the most amazing turnarounds we've seen in a swing. https://youtu.be/oJHYRW-Dq94 |
| March 24, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spinal Fusion & Softball Due to spinal stenosis or arthritis, my L5 and S1 are arthritically fused and I had a L3,4,5 lamenictomy 2 years ago to clean out area for the spinal cord which was getting compressed . Differences I see are large. Much less mobile, walk at an angle leaning forward and overall much more stiffness. Its improving but rotation that suffered so much, is slowly but surely coming back. Having to relearn stride and rotation. My suggestion is that anyone who has back problems and develop numbness, get something done. I waited too long and have permanent nerve damage in the feet, which is quite dramatic and painful. The longer you wait on symptoms, the greater the change is long term. I find Davey Reeds youtube instruction on the foam roller helps alot and just overall stretching and working out helps. At 64, its a slower process of improvement, and I imagine if your older, its a healing process and rehab of a large scale, but certainly achievable. jmo bogie |

| Feb. 11, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reach step may fix lunging or chasing ahead early for ball contact Swing Makeover Short https://youtu.be/1vp2XdABJn0 While not for everyone, many of us due to age and injury end up committing our weight early on the front foot, causing us to lunge with the upper body or chase the ball too far ahead for an improper point of contact. A reach step, allows us to stay back longer on the rear leg and wait with an easier tempo. Certainly doesn't have to be as radical as the demonstration, but its a movement that many pros use. A Quick demo off the tee with several pro swings demonstrating. Food for thought. Swing makeover short www.sportstechnique.com |
| Feb. 4, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Swing Makeover#67..Point of Contact, a Common Flaw.. 52 year olds swing demo https://youtu.be/bEoIk4E9tZY Corrections: Slowing tempo, working backside, envisioning the ball off to the hitters side, rather than ahead too far, moving the tee back closer to catcher, swinging in a rotational arc and letting ball come back to the point of the arc where contact should be made, are some of the ways to reduce the chasing and hitting of the ball out front too far. Also looking to cut thru a portion of the ball helps. We want to catch the ball square at the lag to snap point of contact and not ahead too far where the swing evolves into the rollover of the wrists. Common and persistent flaw for many of us. |

| Dec. 31, 2017 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ryan Harvey Tee Hitting & Hitting Tips Swing Makeover #66 we all feel better about ourselves when he is absent ha |
| Dec. 30, 2017 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ryan Harvey Tee Hitting & Hitting Tips Swing Makeover #66 We promote a level to slightly up swing plane with a straight line a to b..bathead path..never an uppercut. That is what we see in the majority of pro swings. Sometimes you see pro hitters attack a chest high pitch but still the bat path is on a straight line just more of an up angle. We view an upper cut as a golfing swing and its a flaw that is often addressed in the show, not promoted. That said, Harvey has one of the most level swings of any of the pros...pretty amazing skill set to keep from missing the bottom of the ball too much for pop flys. |
