I noticed that many people at this site want to see clips of the better major league hitters. I subscribe to the MLB package on my dish and then tape all the hitters that I want to see and then watch them whenever I want in slo mo, frame by frame etc. If you want to see all the best and worst swings, try it.

What Teacherman and others are asking is for some way for all of us to look at clips together so we can analyze them together. It doesn't do anyone any good for one person to say I have clips that backup my views, if no one else can view the clips.

> X, I agree that sharing clips is a good way to talk and analyze. Taping hitters over a long period of time will help a coach or player help himself to understand the swing. You get to see many swings and you get to see the pre pitch routine of the hitter. If you study enough hitters, you won't need to see a solo clip to understand the swing.

Agreed. But to explain your beliefs to other people, it is helpful to take certain clips and analyze them. Clips are good examples and also counterexamples. If someone thinks they have a clip that goes against your beliefs then the only real way to solve the issues is for both of you to analyze the clip together so you know what each other is seeing and thinking. I have a large library of swings. But they don't do any good if no one else can see them.
