A few weeks into my pursuit of Hitting and I have some questions. I'll finally have the book in my hands in a few weeks, but can't wait that long.
I feel no fanning in my takeaway. That is, all I'm thinking is taking the right forearm back (it goes in and up, hopefully on the plane of the right wrist bend) in a piston like motion (starting the mower). I don't make an effort to not fan, but there’s no conscious fanning on my part. Is there a chance that even though I don’t feel it, there is in fact some fanning going on? That last part might just be wishful thinking on my part.
From a few posts in the archive I take it that having a purely piston like motion is part of the Push Basic Stroke, which doesn’t get much love. Is that right? From the sounds of it, I don’t want to be doing the Push (Major?) Basic Stroke. Can someone explain to me in a little more detail what that actually is and why it's less than ideal. thanking you
Basically this might boil down to, should I switch to the Right Forearm Takeaway, which I take it (I might be wrong here) has fanning.
