This now has become a "Go-To-Thread" for muscle car stances. I'm glad there is so many who have contributed to it.
If you can't find it here, you can't find it anywhere......

Has it earned a "sticky"?

Gotta love the white Trans Am. We had one like it at the Norwood Reunion last July. Show killer.......

This is the 'Stance' we've been working on for the past 8 months! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Age 12, 5' 7", 130 #'s, and lowest grade on his report card in 6 years is a 97 - he was meant to play Baseball! He's got it down now, and after a monster 3 run HR a week or so ago - he is walked about 42% of the time, and a lightning rod for being hit-by-pitches. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Since nobody will pitch to him, he wants to go racing and work on the stance of his '69 Nova SS. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Nice stance. A little wide, but his weight transfer looks good with it being on his back leg. Swing, and push through with the back leg to drive the ball.

He's not crowding the plate, so it's not an issues of to close on the beanings. Seems way back in the box. Are they throwing that fast to be that far back?

At twelve most pitchers have control issues. In a couple of years, he'll be up against pitchers who can move the ball around, and set up the hitter. He'll see better curve balls, and sliders. Continue to work on hitting the marginal strike zone pitches. Low and high on the corners. That's where good control pitchers work.

I love youth baseball. Truly enjoyed coaching. Especially at the Pony, and Colt age. You guys are in for a good time.

Ken you'd be surprised at the scary good off-speed stuff that 11/12/13 year olds have in their arsenals nowadays.

Travel ball starts around here now at 8U and by the time they are 10 they pretty much play year round so they are developing skills at 10-12 that nobody even thought of teaching until High School years ago. In the last 5 years the travel leagues have pretty much gutted the local park district/little league/youth recreational leagues of any reasonable talent around here. Not saying that is a bad thing but it is what is happening.

Now back to the original topic of the thread........
