| Aug. 18, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major++ Having friends on the team, I am biased, but Major Plus is big boy softball...I personally would like to see no border restrictions...no east, west restrictions.. and let all play even up. If someone builds a dynasty, congrats. Its major plus, and not everyone needs a ribbon. I respect SSUSA and a big fan of all they do to keep things competitive...but in my opinion, this is the "pro" division and if the heat is too much, disband and start over.. major plus to me is major plus.

| 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.

| May 31, 2018 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hands back during Stride, Critical for Transferring Hip Power to Bat Head SM#72 Bret does a great job using pro swings, to explain how the hands come back to a connected position during the stride..and how rotation, arm extension and snap bring power and consistency.

| 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 |
