First time I ever seen this guy. Justin Stone teaches extension and the "swing sequence" EXACTLY the way I have been teaching for the past 30 years. You have great energy, delivery and clarity. I thought I was watching a younger version of myself! Great job Justin! You hit the nail right on the head!
When I was younger my coaches didn’t teach me to follow through my swing, now that I’m older, I still have trouble following through, I hit to the far outfield but I’d like to increase it. Any drills for follow throughs
A coach referencing extension Should be talking about extending your arms out in front of the plate while the bat head is in the hitting zone. Anyone who's ever used a wrench should know that to increase torque you must extend the length of the lever perpendicular to the force being applied. The rotational force your body creates in the initial phases of your swing times the length of the lever perpendicular to the force ( your arms) equals the amount of torque generated. Shortening the lever or having elbows bent at the point of contact reduces the torque generated . So the word extension shouldn't be a red flag to run from a particular hitting coach. Although it might help to ask them to explain what type of extension they mean.
I both agree and disagree. Yes, in general, sequence leads the way. But I’ve had many hitters, including my son, who have good sequence but who fail to get extension. The problem is a premature rolling of the wrists just after contact. So in this case there are after contact things to work on.
I agree with most of what he says but there are players who throw the bat as soon as the ball makes contact..... live, they don't finish like they do in the cage.....
JUSTIN, YOUR TOP HAND IS TO FAR BACK IN YOUR HAND, MOVE IT ABOUT A HALF AN INCH TOWARDS YOUR FINGERS...YOUR BALANCE IS SLIGHTLY OFF, AND YOUR KNEES ARE NOT BALANCED. HANDS ARE TO LOW AT "SET" POSITION. ENERGY IS GOOD...BUT YOUR MECHANICS NEED ADJUSTED....COULD GET YOU ANOTHER 25 FEET EVERY SWING...THANKS, RANDY BRYANT

“Focusing on contact is simply a waste of time” Nailed it!
I guess he's the only one who knows how to teach? He's so intelligent!!
Very nice explanation!

your physics is false. the torque generated reduces as it gets away from your body.

Justin Stone is the MAN.
So, so very true!!!
