If this is confusing I can try to find some pictures - however, if you do what I'm saying (just sitting there at the comp) - you can see the difference.
*Supposively* this is how brazil trains thier hitters, thats what he told me anyway. I couldn't find any actual proof of that - but I'd believe it. |
I agree completely. This is the only way you can generage enough arm speed to hit it hard. Swinging from a shot-put form gives you a half-arm swing..so you really have to bring it back to get that arm speed.
Actually, I assume the shot-put form as I approach but bring it back right before the swing.
Also...keep eyes FOCUSED on the ball and VISION swinging on top of the ball and through it.
