If you open the pelvis to the pitcher upon foot plant, you can extend (straighten) the front leg and drive the hip turn. It's not acting like a brake against the forward momentum, it re-directs the forward momentum into rotation. The difference is between standing on the brakes and turning the wheel. The turn is much more controlled and doesn't rely on a ton of forward movement. Imagine driving 60 mph and braking hard vs turning the wheel hard. When you brake hard, the car stays in a staight line. When you turn hard, the rear end is going to come around and pass up the front end. Now imagine going 5 mph and braking hard vs turning hard. With the turn you create angular momentum and that swings the bat. Braking just moves the bat laterally. Some force is needed to make the bat head pass the knob otherwise you just create bat drag.
Great advice! This is the PRO style, not the garbage amateur style. This is how it should be done. Also: You don't need to yell, Sean. We can hear you! :-O :-)
Love the car breaking analogy,good stuffs thanks

The weight is supposed to shift forward. And the front leg doesn’t have to be straight
What do you mean it doesn't have to be straight???
Aang the front leg doesn’t have to be straight when hitting
At some point you have to straighten your front leg so you hips can turn. Otherwise you have 0 power and can never catch up to a fastball.
Aang watch my video on c bell
You teach that..... LOL wow...... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️I feel bad for those (if any) who take instruction from you
Barry Bonds turned that front foot completely and lifted it up on his heel. If I was a lefty I’d copy Barry
You'd have to 💉 too
The first take was better!! Where he took one in the grill!!
