Congratulations on the new personal best. That's some serious speed for the Hitter. It further shows the true power of muscle power.

I noticed on a Speed Chain website they recommend a FAST Start Down. "Transition to downswing should be fast." It seems, of course, they envision it being used for transferring momentum. Because that's the only way to swing a club, right. I was wondering if you've found it useful for training the Hitters muscle power and how you've incorporated the chain's use with a SLOW Start Down. Do you use it for Total Motion or just work the Release interval?

I've got the XX Strong version, of the original Speed Chain. I've also got the new one that hasn't hit the web, just yet. It works well with Roll, so Swingers will like it. I'm not sure when it's coming to market.

As far as the drills go, I need to do some additional testing. I've tried a number of different things. So, I need to figure out the best plan of attack. I'm working with some of my students to see what brings the quickest and most sustained improvement.

I have a new goal in mind, now. I reached 128 mph with a dowel and impact bag today, but I still can't get above 124 with a club (yet). 130's the new goal with both. We'll see what happens during the winter.

Put the kids on your back and start with 20 pushups.

When you get to 130 you'll get to 130.

Reached 300 mph yesterday -just dragging my wet mop!

I've always described it as a crescendo, as in music. It starts softly and gets louder. I really feel a very late acceleration of the club, via the Right Arm. I use the 4 barrel Hit, as I am an equal opportunity employer of accumulators.

It's just like a professional pitcher in baseball. When he begins his motion to home plate, the arm is still moving back. The arm is loaded and transported via the Pivot, to a Release Point. Then, the arm straightens.

I do use the chains in Total Motion. If you don't keep the thrust moving down-plane with the chains, you should be prepared for injury. Wrapping the chain around your legs is not for the faint of heart. Hitters can take it, but it brings tears to a Swinger's eyes.

Just like a hitter to try and push a chain!! I guess that is why you feel no pain.
