The Corner Drill.
The sling shot. Leg is the handle. Hip coil and back muscles are the band. Stretch it. SNAP!!
Build the torsion. SNAP!!
Back muscles never stop pulling back. They pull ‘on around’ at launch. And when the hands snap the barrel, the rear leg bursts.
The Mechanical Advantage of the high level pattern. A pivot causes the stretched body to burst. As compared to a thrusting body trying to create the pivot.
The mouse trap. Bump the cheese. SNAP!!

It’s travel time. Train. Plane. Car. Let’s talk about the word down. Barrel starts above your shoulders. It hits the ball below the sternum. It clearly went down. The real question is not down or up. It is HOW it went down. Because it isn’t arguable. The barrel went down.
Why is down important? Why do great hitters insist they swung down? What is meant by ‘stay on top of the ball’? The reasons are quite good. Physically sound. And necessary for the task at hand.
First. The swing, the actual swing, starts when the bat pivots about the hands. In the world of 95-100mph pitching, is suddenness of launch a good thing? Is instantaneous a good thing?

Sticking with the topic of a pulling rear leg, the slingshot, it comes in many shapes and sizes. An All-American here with a very simple example.
Did you see this in that swing? It’s there. And it’s critical to the slingshot. Critical to suddenness. Most think the arc represents the barrel path. It does not. Although the barrel will take that path on low pitches. It represents the action of your back muscles.
The Ferris wheel has never been the barrel path. It’s about your back v your chest. Left = back. Right = chest. Left will keep the resistance behind the leg so it can pull. Right pushes the resistance in front of the leg so it must push.

So, after the two recent threads about loading the slingshot, lets look at a comparison of a slingshotting rear leg (left) versus hip rotation (right)
The most obvious difference is the barrel path. And that barrel path is the truth detector.
The whip v the push. Rearward v forward. Depth v out front.

As a warm-up for my #Mickey90 megathread starting 11/18, I'm gonna watch as many of Disney's Oswald The Lucky Rabbit cartoons as I can get access to, since OTLR is basically Mickey Mouse 1.0

I mean, just look at him. Walt lost the rights to OTLR & then re-created him as MM!
I own this dvd collection from 2007 which I was SO excited to own but I still haven't gotten around to watching, over a decade later! This twitter thread will be my excuse to finally watch these films.
There are 26 Oswald shorts by Disney. 13 are on the DVD set. They have since found 6 more, and 7 are still "lost." I think I will be able to watch 16 of them?

Here is an awesome book by @dave_bossert that pretty much covers everything about OTLR:

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
