Pivot differences between Hitting and swinging?
 

Can someone explain if there is a difference in how the "pivot" differs form swinging and hitting. Or is there?

thanks.

This is an excellent question . . . . I have some fog on this from a "chapter and verse" standpoint . . . . but I do have some "personal" observations.

To me much of this is linked to loading and right elbow position/location . . .

Try this . . . make your right elbow go pitchy and observe what your right shoulder wants to do . . . then make a punchy motion . . . observe the differences in how your right shoulder wants to move.

Would you agree that there is less of a "rotation" in the pivot when hitting?
Swinging I can see why but, I cant see why there would have to be as much rotation of the hips and shoulders in a hitting motion when thrusting off of the shoulder.

Do you see any difference?

To me I dont see a difference in that video with the pivot. Then again my eye isnt that quick.:eyes:

I think your eyes are quite normal.

With a folding chair against your buttocks the swinger will push the chair back out of the way with the left buttock. The hitter will move away from the chair in a cross line in to out motion.
The hitter therefore should move the set up plane left if he doesn't want to go in to out cross line.

sounds like a bad day at the beach.
