The main things I worked on with Jonathan was
1. experimenting with a leg kick for more momentum into rotation
2. bat path becoming slightly up instead of slightly down
3. keeping torso back after from heel plant (same angle as firmed front leg)

Nathan Qualls Wallshot vs Millington.wmv
This loading move was not in Nathan's swing last year and this is something that as I stated earlier, will give him much more pop, possibly a bomb or two this year! Respect the Quallsy!!!!

Swing improvement (Example 3) Phillip Qualls
Swing improvement (Example 2) Patrick Snipes
Snipes Summer of 2010 -notice where the hands are here-already way out-separating from the back shoulder and in the dreaded "seatbelt swingpath" firing position.
Snipes Feb. 2011, the hands are tied more to the back shoulder (actually just behind it) and slightly lower for a flatter approach. This is a much more powerful and consistent firing position. Well done Sniper!!!!!!
Swing improvement (Example 1) Josh Ingram

Try to start selling the cards ASAP. We are going to do something awesome things with the money we raise. I am thinking about a big sound system for the indoor and doing a big permanent turf halo around the foul part of the home plate circle with cardinal and vegas gold EAGLES painted all the way around it. Like most college teams have. I think that would look awesome along with the track and padded poles in front of the dugout.

Compare the kid in the post above with THE KID-even the early top hand release just past impact due to high long, smooth full finish
Notice the similarities between Jake's swing at P.E. and "The Kids's" Jake's swing is legit.

Evan Longoria destroying a knuckleball
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=9744797
Notice 3 things...
1. The catcher's body language upon seeing the ball hit. (classic!) Michael don't ever do that!!
2. Watch wear the ball lands. Scary. (hint:look about 10 rows above the WM sign)
3. Really watch the slow motion replays and you will see a perfect swing.
