Yes I do. These ETTS videos are so practical. But I don't get what change Evan is going to carry over from robot training to match play? It seems like that would have already happened if it were going to. Based on doing the same thing i think it may be a reaction to the long ball to shift weight up and back. It's a false sensory impression that the ball is too close. I'm not sure the training you recommended will fix that, but it will be very interesting to see. Maybe just setting up a few inches further back might help to maintain his weight forward. Or learning to take the ball earlier? Obviously if I knew i wouldn't make the same common mistake, so take my ideas for what they are worth.

Also, is Evan on this forum? It would be really interesting to hear from him.

You make a great point, BRS. Very often, we are scared of actually offering the ball the full face of the bat because we believe we are going to hit the ball off the table and hit it too hard. So we pull backwards to avoid solid contact or something like that.

Would like to hear Brett's thoughts on this - should be largely trying to hit the ball one way and let the mind adjust to the misses over time and accepting the misses for what they are? Or are ad hoc adjustments in real time like the one BRS is describing legitimate?

I actually learned all this by messing with robots. When I get back to the Philippines, we will do a Ben's Bookshelf session together and I'll prove it with some basic examples. We'll mess with Ben's brain again and watch it make adjustments.

I thought about this while playing yesterday and I have a much better idea of what I think you are looking at now. So after you get your strokes right and keep the stroke coming forward on the ball, then you can keep your recovery and finishing position optimal after the shot no matter what kind of shot you played. Also makes your technique more consistently similar.
