Two IG posters are afraid to come to Twitter where video can be exchanged to prove points. lumberyardmechanic and outsidethebox21 need to hide from video. They are both backed into a corner where their next statement must be “you are correct, Teacherman”, but the won’t say it. 🙂
I will expose them here with the Manny duplication contest. In the meantime they support the swing on the right here.
I’ve been looking for one honest non HLP believer for 14 years. I haven’t found one yet. Each time they get backed into a corner where the only honest answer is “you’re right”....they refuse to say it. Hitting beliefs are held deeper than religious beliefs.
They are willing to take any and all down with them rather than admit they are wrong. Video proves they are wrong. Beyond doubt. All they have to do is get into the positions the greats swing from and they will know it. They refuse. Then accuse others of not continuing to learn.
They support the swings on the right in this video.
They whine about me comparing young girls to Albert. Yet.... here is a 9yr old swinging in the same pattern as Albert.
If you haven’t noticed I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. I will defend hitting truth. Aggressively. For the kids. It will be said, some day, that I was instrumental in stopping the mass destruction of swings. lumberjackmechanic and ousidethebox21 are ruining futures.....
.....by not acknowledging that all great hitters launch from max coil, which means all greats hitters launch from their rear leg and that significant weight does not shift to the front leg until launch. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS STOP GUESSING AND GET INTO THE POSITIONS OF THE GREATS
There are reasons why the greats are great. And their swing mechanic is one of them. In fact, it is one that is controllable.....changeable. But instead of studying and finding the differences, they just call them athletic freaks. And continue to teach their nonsense,......
......creating a result THAT VIDEO PROVES DOESNT MATCH WHAT THE GREATS DO. They don’t believe a video match means anything yet they use and analyze Great’s videos to make their points. Read that again. LOL. They do that AND YET MANY LISTEN TO THEM. I’m not sure who is dumber.
Creating a video match has made HUGE differences in players results and therefore their futures. The correct mechanics allow you to be the best you can be. They allow you to play at the highest level your athletic gifts allow. They allow you to play as long as possible.
They allow you to have fun. Here are examples of video matching changing lives. 
These guys have created similar results by teaching a video match. @TheLesNozzle @gritnj @pierc21 @coachjsoriano @MercerAces @ChezWhizzz. The list is growing. Sorry if I forgot to include you. It’s spreading across the country. Naysayers like the two I mentioned.....
....will soon be overwhelmed by the tsunami. @mike3bernal should have been included.The great work that is finally being accepted in throwing, is at the grass roots level in hitting, with amazing results. Data instruction (read that again; I didn’t say data) will soon be overrun
Data instruction refers to the instructors that sell swing improvement based on improved EV and LA numbers. Folks, high schools have them. Colleges have more of them. The minor leagues are full of them. They have guys who crush in bp but can’t hit the good pitching.
The instruction they received was incomplete. It didn’t take into consideration the trade off of batspeed that is necessary to have launch quickness. And it’s that launch quickness the results in more barrels.
Currently outsidethebox21 knows he is backed into a corner. He chose these frames as the launch to contact frames of Manny. Mannys weight is clearly still in his rear leg. Those who swing to duplicate know that.
Manny is still max coiled in his rear hip socket in the first frame. His back and scap are still pulling back. The feeling is of being back and around and behind his rear leg. His weight is still back. Yes the front foot is down. But there is very little weight on it.....
.....The very clear absolute of hitting is you can’t be at max coil around the rear hip socket AND have weight forward and then create the barrel depth that all the greats have. It is an absolute fact.
So outsidethebox21 says because Mannys lead foot is down, it proves significant weight is forward. They try to make the case that the foot must be in the air at launch if you do what I teach because I often say the swing puts the foot down. I do say that.....
....I also say ‘by feel’. And that it’s a GREAT (not good) idea to create the feeling that you don’t want the foot to come down before you swing. By feel. I have always said video will show the foot is actually on the ground. But the feeling is it isn’t.
Why does it feel like it isn’t on the ground when it is? Because there is very little weight on it. The hitter feels his max coil. He feels the stretch in his back. Both of these create a strong feeling of weight back in the rear leg. And it is. The torsion around the rear leg..
....and up into the back is the dominant feel. They don’t feel the lead leg until after launch when the weight actually shifts. The lead leg ‘catches’ the weight. Now look at this video again. Mannys BACK is swinging his bat. Other guys CHEST is swinging his bat.
The unleashing of the torsion of Mannys rear leg and back is what releases at launch and that feeling is definitely a weight back feeling. Even if the lead leg is down.
The guy on the right has no torsion. He has clearly shifted to his front leg before he launches. He pushes his bat with his arms and chest.
Will a naysayer try something? Doubtful. Too much at risk. But if there is an honest one out there, duplicate the movement on the right.
Raise your hands, with your back, as you’re moving forward and see how Bonds is avoiding letting weight shift as much as he possibly can.....even while fooled....way out front. Yet he had enough torsion left to snap and hit HR #750
The reason they won’t duplicate is it destroys their theory. They choose dishonesty. Watch Bonds center of gravity lower as a result of him going forward but doing his best to not let the weight shift.
What would this guy look like if fooled with offspeed? He would be a lunging mess. Because he has a forward momentum based push swing. No stretch. No torsion building to help control the forward move when fooled. Just leap on out there
Now. Look for the torsion
Torsion proves weight back at launch.

See why they won’t come to Twitter?🙂. It’s REAL hot in this kitchen.

I am not their problem. The video is their problem. I’m just bold enough to post it. For the kids.
