Launchd mini and Fungo
Taking video of mini and Fungo - video of snap stops vs full swing. When the barrel torque/pivot is right you can feel and hear if the ball is hit flush. However doing video and looking at the contact frames has been helpful for us. Oliver gets that flush contact WAY more often during snap stops than full swings .... More than I would have guessed. Goes to show how drastically things can change when one small parameter is changed ... Muscles seemingly having two memories.
Questions for Next Q&A 1-30-25
Hey everyone, we will be hosting this Q&A Bi-weekly to make sure everyone is getting their questions answered. Feel free to drop em in this thread. Anything and everything is on the table except for a full swing analysis. In this setting it's just not possible to open that up for everyone individually haha. But if you have any questions about the products, training, drills, etc.. please feel free to put em below!!

Question about changing hand slot based on drill type. My BP, game, normal hand slot is raised (eg. Ear height). However, when I'm doing certain drills my hand slot changes a bit (eg. I go to an off the neck hand slot for SL drill). Should I even worry about a consistent hand slot, or just let the slot fall where it may (assuming good mechanics and good drill feels are the outcome).

Just rewatching your Starter Guide and, even tho I've thought about the hand setup a lot (and watched your content a ton) .... Despite all this .... Only now just realized you've provided an excellent hand set-up (how to hold the Launchd bat) feel drill. I know for a fact that Oliver forgets this 'in the fingers, loose but supportive and powerful, hammer a nail feel'. When forgotten his wrist probably does, incorrectly, have flexion. If you've ever tried to hammer a nail starting with flexion in the wrist you know it feels like crap and does not work out. We plan to use exactly what you do at the start of your intro video .... As a routine feel drill. Please consider copying that exact segment from your intro and putting it as a stand alone drill where you are not hitting but getting ready to (like your SL helicopter drill).
For Questions with AJ
I had two recent questions: 1.when to start a ball flip for hitter for drills such as Happy Gilmore, Flamingo, etc. 2. 45/side toss vs front toss You answered them for me already (they are in the general chat from a day or two ago) but I think it would be great to cover. It made so much more sense when I realized that the hitter initiates the flip when he starts moving - immediately made the drills even more meaningful for control and timming. Might be worth having a flip turtorial at some point.
Flip locations
In the drills for Mini and Fungo. Is 45/side toss the primary flip location? Would flipping inline with batter be a good thing to do as well? Having flip tutorials could be a classroom module to add some day 🙃.
