Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to make a detailed post, or youtube video on the "power pocket." I keep going through days where I feel the power pocket and then lose it. On days when I feel it, it feels like I'm not even trying throw "hard" but instead just trying to load as much tension as possible in the pocket. Effortless is the best way to describe it -- almost walking through my x-step, relaxed, glide in, load up the pocket, then slowly begin to accelerate as it starts unloading, with a tiny bit of oomph at the end (I don't think my arm ever actually reaches max speed on these days since i'm just kind of "cruising" through things, yet I can hit 450'+ line drives quite easily on these days).
I was hoping to change weeks of field practice tweaking things to find this feeling, into hours (with some insight from others). I think part of the problem is not trusting myself to relax and slow down -- i know when I have the feeling how easy everything seems, yet when I try to achieve it the next time out, it seems like it can't be as easy as I remember.
Thanks in advance!
