In my opinion Len has stated it pretty well by saying trans rotational with an elliptical hand path.
Being able to stay in the big zone longer gives the hitter a better advantage to make contact with the ball. When we start working with a kid the big zone is normally less than 45 inches. As they see the differences in a mirror usually 50 to 55 inches is not uncommon.
I think anyone can learn how to do it and teach it. However I will say after working with both males and females that our teaching methods are altered to accommodate the differences in the male and female bodies.
Teaching the student how to throw first has been a huge step forward to gaining an understanding of how the body works.
This also helps in gaining an awareness of how the body must be balanced during the stance and to the stride or static verses dynamic balance. You do this as you throw so it is a natural lead in too hitting.
Also the female in general is an audio visual learner and when they can see themselves doing it and they can feel the differences they pick up on it faster.
After working with Crystl for 10 years we have found a way to teach and communicate it that appears to work however it does take work on the coaches and hitter to make it successful.
You are correct that some kids and parents want the quick fix or as one coach stated the dumb down version so the girls can understand it. I can not believe some coaches feel that way!
Coaches like Marry Ellen Bonner, Cshilt, Bouldersdad, Sbfamily, Crush1, Kavin Morgan, Les Rogers, Scott Morrison, Starightleg, Lady Knights, Justine Schilt, Charles Kelly, Tom Lee, Shannon Wullenweber, Mike Larabee, Ted and Carol, Jeff Oakley, Cubsfan, Gary Davis, Tamara Davis, Jerry Breaux have worked with us at clinics or here at the garage and understands what it takes.
