I've seen you hit in person and you are impressively long. Obviously, your technique is good, but my assumption is that at some point technique must give way to right tricep strength. Is right tricep strength the difference maker in hitting, assuming a reasonable technique? What is your right tricep strength level, i.e., how much weight can you press in a right tricep press?
Good question...I have no idea how strong I am. I'm sure you can tell that I haven't darkened the door of many fitness facilities.
I know that I always had a lot of strength for my size. I ran for 8 years in high school and college. We had a rope in our basketball gym that went to the ceiling, @ 25 feet. Our cross country regiment was 5 miles in the morning and 10 times up the rope before class. I never had to touch the rope with my legs or feet. That being said, I was 6'0" and 126 lbs. More importantly, high school was many moons ago. With the extra 64 pounds, I'm afraid that I'd have to take the elevator to the roof.
I think that part of my mechanical advantage is the length of my arms. My arms are very long for my size. I can't wear 33" sleeve lengths. 34"/35" are more my speed.
