Video analysis for a newbie

[Maxx]

Hi, I am new to the site and seeking some advice from the experts. I have coached 7 years at 2 different Division 3 colleges under very successful head coaches. While at each school, we broke numerous team and conference offensive records. While the hitting philosophies at each school had some rotational theory, there was also a lot of the old school stuff.

I am now a high school athletic director where I have also helped coach softball the last 3 years. The softball program was terrible, which was why I fired the coach and decided to help out. I've taught a lot of the same principles that I learned as a college coach. Hitting was never my area of expertise, especially since I was taught strictly weight shift in high school.

I've been studying rotational theory a bit for the past year and I'm looking to take some advanced techniques to some our hitters. I teach best when demonstrating. Problem is, I need to get rid of some of the old stuff. I have a video clip of myself that I've used to demonstrate what we currently teach. I have an idea on a couple of obvious flaws that need corrected on my swing, but I just wanted to hear thoughts and advice from the gurus. Thanks for your time.

Please keep in mind that this was a dry swing........

It seems your geocities site is currently overloaded with people trying to view your swing. You'll probably be getting a lot of pm's like mine shortly.

You spin and use none of the middle to move the bat

That is one gay swing.

Coach V,
First off, thanks for putting your swing up here for all to see. Not sure if you have waded through all the posts here but you will find some varying opinions on swinging a baseball bat. With all due respect, that swing is not close to an effiecient one. You have MAJOR disconnection and a poor swing plane. Check your PM's.

Have you really been studying rotational hitting for one year? That swing is not good - check out this site for some help.

You need to spend a bunch of time learning how to hit before you try and teach, sorry to be so harsh.

it may not be a good swing, but i dont know about gay......

tadlock, thanks for pm, glad to hear others have been taught that same swing......

Stealth, that video clip is from 2 years ago, before i started looking into rotational theory.....i'll have to make an updated clip and see how my swing looks now..............
