> I have not been to setpro in years ,I thought it was closed however I will try to describe what [Bow ARCH and bow arch bow mean to me.]1st bow arch bow is a pitching point that I heard setpro refer to as when the pitcher lifts his front leg he bows his upper body then as his arm is coming back and about to come forward the back arches up as in a loading process to then come forward and throw at which point the body then bows again,in pitching thus called bow arch bow.
> In hitting the bow is when we are loading or coiling and we bend or[tilt]at the hips and as we swing and the lead leg straightens we tilt back more up right[arch].The bent leg when we stride has us bowed and the hips opening and lead leg firming up allows us to arch as we rotate.Try standing straight the whole time from before load or staying bowed or bent the whole time even through follow thru.
> It is a correct evaluation of the swing process but is it different than what Jack has taughtIMO NO!
> You can argue all you want, but Jack and Setpro know the swing inside and out,what I get out of the different ideas of both is a more rounded way of looking at the swing,when I can see the same thing from different perspectives the exact same way with the same result I feel more confident that this is the real answer.
