One leg drill, stupid question.

[RoDeO]

For the record, you are saying this is 1) planted very open, 2) open earlier than you, and 3) "garbage mechanics?"

1.I'm saying his plant foot is open. His hips turn quite a bit into foot plant too.
2. I didn't say where he opens in relation to myself.
3. He has great mechanics I believe, but according to all the advice I see on these forums, by that standard, he would have garbage mechanics

1) We're talking about hips. Hips are closed. His plant foot is also not as open as yours.
2)

I look at throwers like Marc Jarvis, who was a great distance guy and he opens up sooner than me with more initial hip rotation too.

3) Which of his mechanics are contrary to what is being promoted?

Depends on how you define the position of his hips. I could show a different angle of my drive that, by your standards, would be "closed".

At what angle is his front foot when he plants? Would you agree it's between 10-11:00 position?

Plant foot is neutral, basically perpendicular to the direction of the throw. If you look at the field you can even see the line his foot is planted on.

In that video, 9:30-10:00 at most relative to the throw.

Closed relative to the direction of the throw. We're also specifically talking about hip position at the plant.

Ok, let's see it.

You have got to be kidding me. 9:00? No way.

What position are my hips at when my foot plants?
This was from a month ago

Aren't you always teaching the angle the front foot should plant at?

Nope.

Climo naturally stands duck footed. Feldberg naturally stands more inline. Some people are naturally pigeon toed. This is why you can't carbon copy players. You must adjust your stance for your own natural hip flexibility to allow for maximum mobility.

I recommend starting your stance just like of SC talks about in Purpose of the Hips, lift your legs one at a time and let your foot/feet hang naturally into place.

Nope.

It's why I don't worry about what position my foot and hip are. I do think the timing of when is important and Im still experimenting. I watch guys like Jarvis landing so open with their foot and realize it's not nearly as important as people think. Its gonna vary from one player to the next.

Rodeo. Can we get a sideview of your throw?

Is a month ago, still close enough to current form?

This was from a month ago, about two months since I started. It's a bit different than how I throw now. I've slowed up my x step substantially and dropped my front shoulder since then.

 

[RoDeO]

And my arm is looser now into the power pocket.

 

[sidewinder22]

Your front leg angle looks ok at the heel plant, but you haven't really shifted your weight forward off the rear leg, so you jam up and go over top front leg, instead of rotating on it.

 

[sidewinder22]

Jarvis bros have shifted to a one leg balance on front leg. You are stuck on a two leg or rear leg balance.

 

[twistedraven]

not related to the one legged drill, but it looks like you're almost touching your torso with your throwing elbow. If it's that close to your body, it means your shoulder angle has collapsed under 90 degrees.

What do you mean?

 

[twistedraven]

Your rear foot is still supporting some of your weight by the time you're initiating your pullthrough. When looking at all the big bombers, you'll see that rear foot is already completely deweighted and getting off the ground by the time they're starting their pull through. The main purpose of the one leg drill is to understand how it feels to be completely weighted and braced up against the plant leg. Taking a smaller x-step and staying on the ball of your rear foot can help.

Aye. I may have cured some of that then with my new slower x step. I will have to shoot video again and see.
