JD Drew's grand slam in the ALCS is a
great example staying on the ball and
extending through contact.
Notice the hips turning with the back
foot, yet his head and bat are on the
ball!
Perfect Power 'V'
notice the top hand
(left palm up)
The finish is balanced. Front foot is
closed throughout.
Helton starts his swing
with his lower body and
the barrel of the bat is
above his hands!
Nixon and Sizemore are great at and
through contact. Sizemore (left) is a
little softer on his front leg, which is
better for contact hitters. Stiff front leg
and lean is only for the super strong.
The ball has left the bat. Ortiz shows
nice flex in his arms. He's inside the
ball and exploding through. Softer on
his front side but good power with his
back foot and hip turn.
Manny can hit! Look at the finish. Short to it. Long through it.
