4 barrel hitting...

but Hitting is gonna eventually stress the shaft differently than swinging....that's why you gotta position the right forearm in a way to PUSH the sweetspot....the sweetspot will align "looking at the ball/plane line" earlier....

So have a look at the cattle man's crack....wooooooo!!!! Here we come Brokeback Mountain! Coachman's crack....Swinger's love a working man's crack This cat will even discuss different cracks with you!!!

Note how the forem is aligned with the right shoulder here...backstop for PUSHING....pivot brings the rightshoulder fowward...then the right elbow right tricep LAUNCHES THAT MOFO OFF THE BACKSTOP LAUNCHING PAD WHICH WAS SET IN MOTION BY THE PIVOT....

Or maybe if you don't like a big burly type...you can get you a toofless mullet fireball....here's some more DRIVE LOADING....LAUNCHING PAD PIVOT...PUNCHING...

Note the steep shoulders...Note the "shutty-ish hockey blade sweetspot" ... that stick is rectangular...so he's loading for Hitting...that the lil' edge of the stick...the broad edge...Note the PUNCH ELBOW....elbow aligned for DRIVE LOADING...

NO LOADING FOR SWINGING IN HOCKEY....BAD: Forearm aligned to pull....GOOD: Forearm aligned to PUSH...Slapshot/Punch/Open Palm Strike/Shot Put vs. Forearm aligend to whip crack/fly cast/karate chop/slap

So you gotta pick whether you like a Coachman's Crack or a Backstop Blastoff

I like the SWING of the coachman. What do YOU prefer?
