"Okay, as far as what we can use or not use. Anything about Approach to Hitting, such as mindset, etc at the plate from ARod, use. Talking about technique and the swing, not much. I’ve used his swing for comparative analysis with my hitters and…"

Richard Lovell commented on Grant Clifford's blog post AROD- THE TRUTH ABOUT LAUNCH ANGLE"Brandon, sorry, somehow I just have hit post. Matching the plane of the swing to the plane of the pit h is something Ted Williams talked about, as did Mike Epstein. Both were way ahead of their time regarding swinging slightly up, Technique vs Style…"
Richard Lovell commented on Grant Clifford's blog post AROD- THE TRUTH ABOUT LAUNCH ANGLE"Brandon, it sounds like you are confusing launch angle with bat path. Launch angle is the angle the ball leaves the bat. If the ball is thrown at a downward angle of 6 degrees and the hitter is swing up at 6 degrees and the ball cane off the bat at…"

darryl morhardt commented on Grant Clifford's blog post AROD- THE TRUTH ABOUT LAUNCH ANGLE"Wow , I first expected A-rod to be off from listening to him on ESPN but I never expected him to be way off.
I was intrigued by no launch angle because it is simply a term used often by people trying to reinvent the wheel and take credit for…"
"Here is a 13 yr old demonstrating launch angle. "
"Arod believe it or not doesn’t seem to understand launch angle at all. Launch angle is about getting on plane with the pitch regardless of high or low. He demonstrates a terrible long swing which is absolutely not on plane and is at a launch…"
