Sorry for the full clip. Key part is from 1:16-1:28. That's dd making catch in right and the following is her hitting a double. How does that swing look?


To make sure I'm not confused, the first swing in this video is the one Steve and I were commenting on. I'm not sure my confusion isn't confusing everyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HkSRr4T ... e=youtu.be

The best example I saw during my kid's time: was Bridgette DelPonte. Any of you guys familiar and/or have a comment about what made her so special? It might help teachers of young ladies of similar size. That kid was an absolute beast at the plate.


Anyone have a clip?

OK, now I'd comment on the swing you spoke of. Nice catch by the way. Love the back ground. That part of the country sure has it's own feel. Brings back memories. Anyway, the swing I see is the one right after showing bunt pulling back and hitting? I'd rather comment on her standard full swing. This looks like an excellent result from one of those show bunt come back through and make sure you make contact things a lot of girls do from time to time?

Does Mich's Sierra Romero qualify? 5'5" hits for high average with good power (oppo too) - .432/.579/.867.

That is her standard swing. The pseudo bunt is a timing mechanism her coach has had her do since freshman year

Here's a film strip of the swing we have talked about most if I can figure out how to post it here. http://s842.photobucket.com/user/alexby ... f.png.html
The problem is in frame five.

I know I owe a reply on another swing.
