9-1-5...Pics
|
annakin what are you trying to show from these pics of the slammer
|
Nice pics, but I had a look at 9-1-5 and couldn't figure out what the pics here were supposed to tell us.
All I can see is a stationary head on the backswing from the slammer. Alex |
Possibly something to do with Standard Knee Action meaning more Hip Tilt and the Stationary Post/Head. And what about the Foot Flare?. Wow!
"Take it back slow and romp it up the barrelhead!". Play it again Sam!. |
And maybe a Shiftless Hip Turn (Backstroke only)?.

Now for the WHY? |
Show Some Backbone, Will Ya?
Many modern Instructors teach that the Head should move to the right on the Backstroke and that the Shoulders turn over the Right Knee. Case in point: the classic 'folded arms across the chest' drill with the Head Swayed over the Right Foot. In essence, they teach that the upper part of the spine moves away from the Target on the Backstroke.
Which way would you guys say the lower part of Sam's spine moves? |

2-H: "Though the 'Head' Pivot Center is recommended, it is not at all mandatory." The two sides of the coin are interpereted from this sentence. My side: Homer recommends a stationary head. Another side: Your head doesn't have to sit still. He recommends it for a reason. By the way, a stationary head IS a Basic Essential. But others say the head can sway, and they even promote it. It's what I was taught to do, to no avail. I was even told that this (a sway) creates power. :confused: Am I in the ballpark, Yoda?? |

The Centered Pivot
Quote:
Actually, Homer is saying that something at the upper end of the Pivot -- not necessarily the Head -- must remain Stationary to stabilize the motion. He recommended the Head as the Pivot Center because you can tell when it moves (you can see more 'under' the Ball). However, you can alternatively choose to keep the top of the spine -- the point 'between the shoulders' -- stationary. Either way, there is no Sway. In both cases, there is a Centered Pivot Motion. It is all a matter of what the player monitors. |
