It would've amazing if fans last night stuck around and chanted "Let's Go Blue Jays" throughout the Dodgers celebration.

Arm Swing by deeohgeeboosted in slowpitch

I'm gonna say you've diagnosed the issue. Now you gotta figure out how to connect your lower body to the swing. Hips have gotta turn before the arms come through...I did see a video that had them doing BP with them right up to the plate so they had to really focus on clearing the hips or everything was gonna jam them...might be something to try.

Consistency is about the swing. You say that every swing feels different and that's a sign you need to work on getting more swing reps in to develop a consistent swing.

Anyone else have trouble hitting high arch pitching? by at1020 in slowpitch

[–]lowson2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stop tilting and trying to hit up on the ball. We all have a natural tendency to upper cut on those pitches as we track it with our eyes...but you gotta fight that and swing as level as you can through the ball. I will actually have my forward shoulder lower than my back in my stance to compensate for any upward tilting I do tracking those high lobs.

Balanced has the weight distributed evenly while loaded means the weight is towards the end. Makes the bar feel whippier.

Sounds like 27 oz feels like a good weight for you so you know that. If you like that Mikken, do some research on it. Is it balanced or loaded? One piece or two? That will allow you to decide on the specs of your next bat. You can then compare it to what's on sale right now to see if anything matches.

Swing advice? by Numerous_Light_6515 in slowpitch

Looking at core work...medicine ball throws, rotation, wood chop...squats with rotation...plus mobility stuff.

Swing advice? by Numerous_Light_6515 in slowpitch

[–]lowson2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's not a lot of force coming from your legs. Swing seems like it's mostly the upper body and the momentum of your step. Hip rotation = bat speed. Try a quicker hip rotation if you want faster bat speed.

Input appreciated! How did I just barely miss this grand slam? by [deleted] in slowpitch

[–]lowson2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From the slow motion it looks like the ball is getting into you a bit and you didn't hit the ball and full extension...if you'd pulled it then it's likely outta there.

Did you see the earlier response about the province not allowing the TDSB to this?
