Mechanics Question

[bkbjones]

1. Be on SS RIGHT shoulder.
2. Bust your butt inside to get an angle. I agree with Darrell's post on this.
3. PU needs to help on this. Anything else, IMHO, is an excuse. The ball is going to first, why aren't the PU's eyes?
4. Save rimming for your love life.
5. The "modern" FP game is no different than the men's game was in its heyday.
6. Clinicians who think they need to reinvent the wheel need to recall these mechanics are there for a reason -- and these old fogie mechanics actually work.
7. The mechanics are NOT all from some ancient period. For instance, you should hear your regional UICs, then on down to your state/association UICs, down to your local UICs, preaching things like a much more narrow buttonhook -- not the crap of going toward the pitcher's plate. These mechanics evolve. If your local clinicians or whoever are going against the book, IMHO, they are doing YOU a disservice.
