If you’re a hitter who gets front side dominant and struggles with pulling off this is for you ‼️ Using the step over cue can really help with front side mechanics and barrel delivery Less bat drag = more hits 🙂

Will try this!

Not a bad cue….for righties

Isn’t that the scissor and allows the front side to break?

Good one, Jake. Lot of MLB hitters step on the plate with their back foot as well, which signifies that their back hip is rotating around their front leg axis. All good stuff 👊

‼️🥎 Strong front side to have the back side replace even stronger! Not a lot of people talk about the rear elbow and the positive movements it should be making getting into the slot. I was huge on feel and so are a lot of my athletes, feel the rear elbow get to the belly button is a cue that can help your athletes have 1. Leverage for that front side along with 2. Strong contact position. Feeling the barrel and forearm act as one long barrel allows you to have stability and control over the object (bat).

Turn the backside into the front side Can be a good cue for hitters who miss underneath and lift the ball too much Comment “BONDS” if you would like a drill sent to you to work on this feeling

If you’re someone who’s struggling with your pivot in transition, here’s a really good FEEL for you. The goal here is to feel like you’re sitting down into your lead side in transition with your pelvis specifically. Look closely at the rehearsal my student is doing.. You see him get down and onto that front leg with his lower body without his upper body stacking too far forward. We’re not only creating some separation here, but we’re shifting pressure forward while retaining tilts effectively (lead side stays down). The cue I gave him was to feel like he’s going to sit down onto a chair thats near his front leg as he starts his downswing. Really good feel if you’re someone who hangs back too long, loses posture quickly or struggles with starting the downswing with your lower body ✌️

Swing the foot down, launch into landing, etc. can be good for hitters who shift forward after heel strike The best in the game are able to rotate efficiently as the front foot gets down, allowing them to launch their swing quickly + stay behind the baseball Try this out if you’re a hitter who struggles with shifting forward

Struggle with your front side coming off the ball? Give this a try ‼️ Closed angle toss will force you to stay square longer and let the ball travel so you can drive it back through the middle of the field DM me “Hit” if you want to talk more about training

If you’re not doing this, you’re losing power and stability in your swing. After a controlled load into the back hip, we have to be ready to unleash that stored energy into the ball. The only way to do this with both force and stability is by hitting against a strong front side — more specifically, our front heel. When we drive the front heel properly into the ground, it allows us to maximize both force and stability, enabling our mechanics to function correctly and generate gap-to-gap power! #softball #hitting #lesson

Two 100 mph lefties: 2 totally different strategies💡 Scott is highly back-side driven, with a deep hinge and the head staying over the back hip as he builds momentum in the stride. This corresponds to a more lateral block (landing from behind). Crochet is more front-side driven, with a shallow hinge and the head riding the front hip as he builds momentum in the stride. This corresponds to a more vertical block (landing from above). BOTH strategies can work, but it's unlikely that both strategies will work for any one pitcher in particular. Understanding your own body and structure allows for better customization of your mechanics to that unique structure.

A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

Sounds like the Bengals players are playing hard ball with the front office and digging in for top of the market deals. They've applied public pressure on the organization and now they're fighting for every dollar. This could drag out, if neither side moves.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, if you’re not pissed off about this it’s because you’re just a racist piece of shit that enjoys the fascism and you can fuck off. ICE is the Gestapo, nothing more. And when we get out of this, they’re going to pay for their crimes. End of discussion.

For muscles, your non-dominant side is just as important as your dominant side. More than just symmetry, balance brings strength, safety(less injury) and better overall health. Don't neglect it!
