long stride

Posted by: Michael () on Fri Aug 10 21:48:41 2007

hello...

i was watching clips of bonds and many other players who hit numerous homeruns. I noticed that many of them have very long strides. The player i noticed most was Barry Bonds. He does the toe tap then long stride. Why does he do this? My coach encourages pick up and put down but I would think the homerun king would know better than my coach...right? Thanks for any responses.
