Just watched a slomo montage of his hits, he definitely loads by stacking all of his weight on his rear leg with his head just forward of his foot just like Teacherman is saying. 🤷🏻

@@povertygarage705 I based my comment on one of his home run videos and did not see that at all. What is the name of the video you are talking about?

@@danielhoward4566 he loads back and stacks on his back foot. When he decides to go for it, it's from that position. Where exactly he launches the barrel from or how much weight goes on his front foot through the swing is debatable. That's not really the point though. You can't launch a hard swing if your load (some call it apex of the gather) has weight on the front foot. That's all they're really saying here, but do notice that his barrel does always whip rearward at launch and he keeps a rearward center of gravity even when he's on both feet. Keep in mind that putting weight into the front when it lands from forward momentum is a different thing than center of gravity of the posture. Imagine slowly rolling on a skateboard and then suddenly running into a curb with the nose. No matter what your posture is, there will be weight (pressure) transferring to your front foot on curb contact, but if you're leaning back and have your center of gravity more rearward, you will be much more stable at curb contact and won't fall over the nose the same as is you were 50/50 or God forbid, leaning forward.

Some say that launch angle is killing baseball?

You don’t know ball lil bro

Launch quickness is far more important than launch angle. But you're not ready to see that.

@@MunkyBoy exit velo bro

@@MEGATBLAZER Why is launch quickness more important? And how do you even define that without the app that TM sells?

Keep teaching your 3rd grader these tips that worked for the best hitters of all time and he’ll grow into it and be ahead of the competition

Agree with comment above. The ylung guys will grow into their power. Teach proper mechanics so whem they get atronger theyll be able to drive the ball.

Don’t worry about power he’s in the 3rd grade

Teacher (con) man is a fraud. Teach proper hitting mechanics young and it will carry over. Teacher (con) man teaches old school....stay back and hit with your hands..... But...he acts like he's reinventing the wheel so he can Con people out of money. Then....he adds this extreme shoulder drop, extreme launch angle, extreme leg kicks....which works for grown men like ...6-7/280 AJ....Who can use their grown man strength to launch balls to their power side pull alley.... All that does for young kids is throw their timing off and make them Bad Pull Happy Hitters. With young hitters you must stress a Quiet swing....Load your hands (which will allow them to load thier lower body/back hip and allow the bat tilt he talks about). This load needs to start as the pitcher starts his motion Then get their foot down...which needs to happen as soon as the pitcher shows the ball at the height of his delivery Once the foot is down the Hands will be in place....with the natural tuck of the back elbow and a slight back shoulder drop Now...your own your back leg with your hands in place (Staying back/Hit with your hands) ready to drop the barrel on the pitch which enables them to hit line drives to all fields. Baseball players been hitting for over one hundred years. The best ones stay back and hit with their hands with a slight launch to the swing The Teacher (con) man is a fraud. And no one actually does what he says....especially on the front leg timing mechanism

Get him generally stronger. Something I wish I knew as a kid, just being stronger automatically gives you a big advantage in sports even if your form isn’t there yet. Get him into a gym and get him doing compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses) on top of his baseball training. That power will develop and pretty soon he’ll be dropped into that #4 slot in the lineup.

Unfortunately David Ortiz did not do that.

​@danielhoward4566 You know we all have youtube access to a bunch of Ortiz's hits, right? It's super easy to see that he loads every last bit of his weight onto his back foot right before he swings. He literally drifts back and pulls his front foot off the ground. He keeps his head slightly in front of his rear leg, just like Teacherman says.

What bat is it? Is it a more balanced swing weight or end loaded? The Victus Vandal is probably the lightest swing weight -3 bbcor bat. If you're having a hard time with something like that, you might just need to hit the weight room or eat a bunch. 😅

gotta build strength, or use a lighter bat.

Barry Bonds had to choke up when he was a kid because he was not strong enough. As we all know, he kept that up his whole career. TM's teachings are based on Barry Bonds swing.

you simply need to build mobility first and then add strength. Also use the bat everyday, multiple times day a day. 2-3 swing sessions of 5-15 minutes so you get used to holding and using it. It’s simply an accessory learn to use it the best you can

What?
