[bambam]

Ted tried it on Bucket . . . and it worked! To me this is HUGE. I was having trouble with "roundhousing" and the shoulder going out from the top. If I just made my pivot comply to the Angle of Approach Delivery Line i.e. cross-line out to right field, then by moving my pivot PARALLEL (cross-line) my shoulder stays back and down. And my head stays stationary to boot.

Lagster you are absolutely right . . . . I think this can help A WHOLE BUNCH of people. By having people move the hands club and pivot cross-line, you can use your instincts and not go over the top.

Ted = genius.

Bucket, I just missed you!! had to eat all those peanut butter 'nanner sandwiches by myself.

Ted also tried this on bambam last Thursday.

Ted = genius....bambam = pivot controlled roundhouser

My roundhousing problem is rooted in my lack of understanding of where the hands/arms needed to be and habits from my old baseball swing. Ted had me hit the ball out towards the first baseman (exagerated) to help get the concept in my coconut. Once I understood where I should have been (this is an old, ingrained habit, so it took a couple days), my pivot started behaving better to comply with what my hands/arms wanted to do. The parallel hip slide concept has definately helped with this.
