1st post of all time!

Pretty easy to start blogging, eh! Not real sure what this is all about ?

Welcome to my world !
This will probably be my thoughts in the world of Baseball . Good and Bad
maybe just a whole lot of ranting on my soap box.
For instance: How come every kid today has a personal hitting coach ? How do you pick one and how do you know the guy knows what he is talking about? Pitching as well , everybody has their own coach. What ever happened to going out and playing at the corner park and figuring it out by yourself until you get past High School.

Hitting is rotational against a firm front side. It is not in the wrists like the old guys think. It is a violent action. Generating force from the ground up starting with the feet and ending with the bat. Creating force or generating and then throwing up against a firm front side around an axis of rotation. It is rotational, not linear! Regardless of what people say they see, the eye is not fast enough to spot it. We know this through the videos we have taken throughout the years. This has been cussed and discussed for years and will be until everyone has the use of technology such as motion analysis.

Hey Shawn how are you doing. I have to honestly say, that I really never had the opportunity to play high school baseball or any other type of organized ball. I look forward to hearing your comments. Keep up the good work and keep swinging.
