I have found that if you clear the back foot or "get your heel pointed to the sky faster", it allows the hips to rotate farther with more force. Does anyone disagree?

Hi todd


No ofense but it sounds like squishing the bug mechanics, which i hate because they led me into years of frustration and unproductive at bats. By the way, one mistake of mine early in my rotational quest was to try to rotate on one leg only. It took a lot of trial and error to see it. Believe me you dont want to go down that road.

For me this is a non-teach area. If you rotate the front side, your back heel will go up, ...by itself. No good on focusing on it. I would rather think “rotate front knee” and your back leg will get involved violently. I dont know if you can do that but i challenge you to try it. Once you feel it you will never go back to one leg rotation. The amount of power generated by this move will kill the ball.


Thanks and keep it up.
