Yeah but he also recommended to squash the bug. I wouldn't put mutch into it.
How's the Crush? I was always a huge fan of the original Techfire line. Which is nothing like the new line, I know.

Crush is really nice. More explosive feel than the nighthawk. It's got more of a 1/2 ounce to 3/4 ounce end load feel to it. Was my swing better in the second video I posted?

looks like you just need a little more time. muscles, body took a long break. so, they also need some adjustment period. i wouldn't be surprised if you lost some power while being away from playing balls. doesn't look or sounds like any mechanical related. just need to get back to game ready shape,i guess and start smacking the balls again. your body will know, you are ready, then it will respond. just my opinion.

For sure, I had meningitis in December and it took as lot out of my body. Still recovering....

Outstanding Bad Mudasuka!
It looks like you’re casting your hands a little, and not coiling as much as you did before, which plays into not being explosive. I also think you just need more reps to get back on the groove and improve hand eye coordination.
The 4th swing looked solid...i think you’ll get i back fairly quickly though...nice stuff brotha

i am no position to give you any suggestion as my swing looks no near as good as yours. lol. but i will try anyway.
for some reason, i like your second video better, looks more explosive and more bat speed. maybe it's just my eye. i think you can do more with your bottom, don't know whether it's stride, weight shift, etc. can't pin point exactly what it is. but whatever reason, doesn't seem like you are maximizing the energy transfer from your body to your swing considering how strong you look.
This guy Normy, a sbf hall of famer, a conference player, look how strong he thrusting his butt, and you can clearly see the energy transfer
from that to his explosive swing and follow through.
perhaps, u can stride maybe a few inch more? and push your butt harder?
I hope the better swing guys will chime in.

I agree, the second video was better but that was also last winter before I lost some muscle mass due to sickness. I'm trying to get back to that. Corey looks quite a bit stronger than me and has a very explosive swing. I think my lower half is on point but my upper half doesn't seem to keep up and stay with it though. I'm also trying to keep myself from over rotating but that might be pulling some strength for my swing.i am no position to give you any suggestion as my swing looks no near as good as yours. lol. but i will try anyway.

Thanks everybody for the swing help. Had my first League game last night and had 3 home runs and one liner through the pitcher shortstop gap. Got under one of the balls a bit too much but with the bat speed and rotation I got over the last couple weeks it still carried out about 330ft. Using a 50hit Mizuno Crush and hitting 52/275 hot dot.Thanks again!

Were you a home run hitter before? That’s impressive!
I’d say full recovery. Mission accomplished!

yes i was but very inconsistent and lost lots of my power due to illness. Swing felt great and timing was spot on.
