If you would like grc I would send you some thoughts and try to show you some of what I have been talking about as well as input from who you asked about, that info I would like to keep off the web.But a vcr tape and audio maybe I can explain and show better than I can type it.My Email is RQLBBALL23@aol.com if you would like to send an address for me to send it to you.Remember the mind controls the muscle see what you want to achieve then teach the body how to achieve it,I will show you.


>rql...thanks for the offer....i'll hold for a little while , pending his performance in winter ball which starts in a few weeks....at that time we'll find out if the things we've been working on will work or if we have to go back to square one ( and we have gone back to square one numerous times)......in the meantime, your post at setpro on 10-16-2k, "mccarver analysis" is still there....in that thread, paul posted edmonds' swing .......on that particular swing i guess edmonds struck out.....well.....both the side view and the front view, that swing is almost exactly how my son's swing always is on an inside pitch.....the various analysis in that thread of edmonds' swing didn't do me much good because the focus seemed to be on edmonds getting fooled on a curve ball (so perhaps that wasn't his normal swing).....any way, i mention this because there are a couple of things my son does that is hard to explain in writing but that i can point to edmonds as an example....(1)from the side view, notice that at about the 3rd frame at heel plant edmonds back shoulder dips significantly.....(2) front elbow bends more than most major leaguers do....(3) frame 8 contact even with home plate..........so, regardless of whther this was edmonds typical swing or not, that particular swing is almost exactly how my son hits the inside pitch............respectfully, grc..........
