When most people demo, they dont account for rotation. So when they stand there and say this is what they feel, hands this or that, down, top hand etc, they are correct. You add in their rotation, the orientation flips and the bat is where it needs to be.

Extension and how it happens IMO, is one of the things that is wildly misunderstood. Your arms/hands shouldn't extend or lead the bat towards the ball the entire time, thats how you cut the ball. At some point the hands and bat must switch for the bat to continue rotatating.

Cage Conversations: The unfurling of the barrel

If the bat is rotatating through the ball the angle of the lead arm will open wide, like a revolving door. If that angle is short or closed, then the bat is being moved towards the ball.

When a player can trust driving the ball through the oppo gap, everything else is open. Thursday, what yall want? "Solo machine, Skinny bat, CB on the edge then back it up on us." When players have ownership they know what they need. @ava_capek2028 @lena_pullin

Once educated the players will become smarter than you. They will take ownership, they will tell what probelms they're encountering during the game, they will tell you what they need, listen to them.

When a hitter trusts that they can drive the ball through the oppo gap, EVERYTHING is now available to them, thats when they become dangerous.
