Hips are way too far in front of her hands. Just compare this to ANY of the slo mo swing analysis videos Ive posted. OK, I'll put the money on the table. We all respect Bouldersdad. I think he has the best stuff. Lets see what HE thinks about this video. Whether or not the hips are too much in front of the hands. Now I'm sure you all know each other and don't want to take sides. I could care less about drawing lines in the sand. I'm just really curious what he has to say about it. I certainly DON"T see Brittany doing that in her swing. Now I just have to reason that since all stats can be accessed through a college website, and SL won't tell us which college, that the power numbers just aren't there, just as I suspected all along. I could be wrong.
I'm not immune to being wrong, but if I was betting.......and please no more, well Crystl this or Cryst that. I think Howard even admits that he DIDNT teach her how to hit, that was done by her Dad and improved through Candrea if I recall. Ok, I'll be waiting to see if Bouldersdad responds. I don't want to put him on the sport, but I do respect his opinions on hitting.
especially watch the front view. Her hands are so far behind her. Looks like a slap hitter,
Space boy, at least spell her name correctly, Crystl. I have said at clinics, which Tim has been at that I never taught her how her to hit. Her Dad George, her late Uncle Jesse and her travel ball coach Dale did. Coach Candrea did not have the influence on her hitting as you think.
The first time I met Crystl was at my house. One of the kids dad knew her and wanted us to meet because of how we explained to the girls how to it see it, feel it and fix it. We had huge mirrors on both sides of the garage. We discussed things like grip, balance and if you stronger with your head up or down. She started hitting even harder and then we worked on tracking using a strobe light.
After we were done she stated, "This set up and the way you teach is designed around someone with a learning disability isn't it?"
I explained we had several kids that the other coaches had given up on. She said she was also dyslexic and by using the mirrors she could actually see what she was doing and by the testing we were doing about the power of the body it made sense to her. That is when she explained that she was not diagnosed until she was a senior in high school that she had a learning disability and was dyslexic. She was doing a clinic here in Cincinnati the next day and asked me to help her. At the end of the clinic she asked me to be her hitting coach. She stated, "No one could ever explain what they wanted her to do because she could never feel it."
That is why I introduced Tim to her as I was working with Brit then as well as many others and as she got to know them and she encouraged them to work stations at the clinics with their daughters. Also Kavin Morgan, Les Rodgers, Shannon, Chris Schilt, Chris Bowers, Dan Pike, Shane Yeater, Mary Ellen Bonner, Dave Hortman, Kyle Gross, Tom Lee and Joe Abrams, Gary Davis, Carol and Ted, Jerry Breaux, Leon Woods and several others I have probably forgotten as I am getting older.
If you are going to throw innuendos around please be correct in doing so.
