Most move the bat in front of their rotation towards the ball. The barrel becomes heavy because gravity is now pulling the barrel downward. You have to fight gravity and the weight of the bat to use it, it's why you can never win that battle. (Poor accuracy and direction)

The bat rotates because the body rotates because the body is inside the bat or inside the bats rotational arc. That's why the body's rotation is the first thing that acts upon the bat, that's why the barrel blurs first.

If you move the bat do you know what pulls it down and you have to fight? Gravity Yes gravity, how do you know that?🤔 Uh because when I move it, it gets heavy and thats the only thing I can think of that would do that. Yes.. thats.. a good answer. Me walking away surprised 😯

“Most people don’t want be pushed that hard. They want to be pushed to their level of comfort. You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure."

Many that fight the bat, dont know that they do. You just know you have to work hard to swing. When you learn how to use the bat better, you realize the difference between the two. Thats when you understand how hard you had to work and your brain will not go back to that.

I believe the thing im most proud of is the ownership level. Ownership over my performance, emotions, mentals, where I was good, where I need to improve, what I need to work on this session....

IMO I believe its harder to remember all the cues you need to swing the bat + plus hit the ball vs Learning the details of how to use the bat better so you only have have to think about the ball.

There is such a massive advantage to using the bat better but you wouldnt know it unless you knew the difference between using it well and fighting against it.
