Distance with hitting

[davel]

Great Comdpa,

Just a reminder from the letter series videos...Tommy said...start with the chips and pitches (with the right forearm) and slowly work it up to a full swing. Definitely use the chapter 12-5 basic motion, acquired motion, and Total Motion approach.

With some good practice time, the forearm muscles will strengthen and this version of swinging and/or hitting will become second nature.

I have looked at Tomasello videos per your suggestion and the down and out could be significant to what I could be doing wrong. I still am a little confused in that with the backswing swivel he describes what I believe is swinging yet the right arm participation sounds like hitting. The other area I have not understood was in the australian tapes he indicated strength was needed for hitting yet after his other video I am wondering why are the strength requirements at all different between hitting and swinging? YodaLuke never felt strength was a requirement when I talked to him.
