On one side of the fence you have linear mechanics and on the other side rotational mechanics. Both advocates think their hitting system is better than the other.
But a really simple way to end the argument is to watch what the mechanics the best players in the game are using.
Are they linear hitters or rotational hitters? Anyone who has studied the swings of the greatest players dating back to the time of Babe Ruth understand the best hitters in game are using a mixture of both mechanics.
Primarily most hitters use 95% rotational mechanic and around 5% linear mechanics.The only linear characteristic they use in when they transfer their weight from the front side to the back. Most elite hitters in college and professional ranks rotate into the baseball. This goes without debate.
All you have to do is study their swings to see how they're generating power and having more success than the average player. The problem which is causing many players to not reach their maximum potential boils down to poor hitting instruction.
Many coaches to this day use phrases like throw your hands at the ball or hit the top half of the baseball. Which leads to a loss in power and performance at the plate. When have you ever seen a professional player swing down on a baseball?
Never, unless you count a handful of Japanese players who have had some success in the Major Leagues.
The thought process behind liner vs rotational hitting ends when you begin proper swing analysis of the best players in the game.

Because your current mechanics are zapping your power at the plate.

Most parents or coaches have always wanted to put their own child's name onto their jerseys. Not many places do it, or it just seems impossible to find such a place. I found a place on the internet called Eastern Lettering. Their website: www.easternlettering.net.
ReplyDeleteThey sell authentic tackle twill numbers that go onto any kind of sports jerseys that you may have. I know they provide them for adults or youth. And give discounts to youth organizations when ordered in quantities. Eastern Lettering can even do virtually every pro team number font out there, so if you have a professional football team for example, and need to match up the correct numbers or letters, they can do it. www.easternlettering.net
The numbers & letters can be ironed on with a regular iron, or stitched or sewn on with a standard sewing machine. But these are the exact same twill numbers that they used on college, and pro jerseys. I think it is a great website and you can even buy custom jerseys from their site. You can choose your own name and number. Or if you have for example: a blank New England Patriots jersey, you can buy the numbers & letters to go on it, and customize it yourself. I never saw a site like that before.
