Hi Wayne
Been a bit but game pretty good. You talked about releasing left leg in backswing few months back. Not sure I’m doing what you were looking for. But I do notice swing gets little longer and I get cross line at top when I feel like I do it. But it definitely gives me more power. Also, I raise slightly as I get to top of backswing. Is that a right arm reach back or because shoulders turn too flat? Anyway, I could go on and on… take a look and tell me what you think. Thx.
Trent
In this video I focus on Trent’s right arm, forearm and hand action from P3 to P4. It appears to me that the lack of right forearm supination approaching the top of the swing causes Trent to cross the line, which is not optimal but certainly not catastrophic, but more importantly to leave the right forearm pronated and the right wrist in a position that makes finding his lag pressure point on the right index finger quite difficult if not impossible, in addition to sequence problems caused by right shoulder tension and pullback. In transition we see Trent lose wrist angle and leave his right arm internally rotated from P4 to P5, causing his right upper arm to stay up and back, leading to a high and wide approach that causes a flippy, throw release and difficulty compressing the ball. I would like to see Trent increase his right forearm supination just before P2 and continue it to P4, which I think would keep the shaft more on plane and free up his right shoulder by allowing for more external rotation and less scapular pullback, which in turn would help him sequence better, produce greater lag pressure which he could then maintain through impact, and get his right arm and elbow in more of a pitch position which would hopefully lead to more forward shaft lean at impact and more of a drive/hold release pattern.
