8/19

have hands somewhat out away from body so you can pull them in in your load- this feels more powerful, i'm not sure if it is and if it is efficient or if its an accurate image and feel to link with my actual mechanics right now.

Also, the timing of the load is important, and I need to determine when it happens. My inclination is that the back elbow load happens later in order to have good rythym.

I also want to check in later and video my swing and see where my load is.

also important to note, david wright has had swings in the past where his elbow load/ tip is not so pronounced and in fact very moderate and statistics show he hit very well in those years.

david w. also seems to like to start from a flat bat in some clips. i can't really tell if his hands are out away from him or not.

also, check out the position that troy tulowitski is in on the cover of baseball america- he is flipping a ball to second base, perfect hitting position.

it also just strikes me that on the hitting illustrated clip page for david wright- the magic seems to be happening in front of his body, not in the back.
