can someone explain the kinetic chain of events to me. 2. IM not a scientist so if you say the shoulders move 1st before the hands then so be it but when i hit i say mentally to myself make your hands get the bat head out front quick on an inside pitch. WHEN I thought of trying to hit it deep or swinging harder than normal I felt i started my shoulder turn 1st which seemed to make my hands lag behind or shoulder pull out early.maybe having my mind on my hands got them moving when they should and it kept my shoulder in longer which seemed to give me more power.i have offered this thought process to a # of high school players I knew were pulling off the ball early with their front shoulder and each have started hitting better near immediately. tovirg ,or grc or who ever please help me out on my statements to message on kinetic chain and shoulder turn in relation to triggering hands; thanks.
