Once you’ve seen Jamie Sadlowski swing over 150 mph at 5’10 and 170 lbs. you realize that strength and size isn’t everything.

Once you learn this concept, you will also start picking up more distance off the tee! youtu.be/gQI5hycQnC8

Most golfers are making a simple backswing mistake that costs them distance and accuracy. Try this instead! youtu.be/f1kB6D1jghY

This is a ludicrous statement. Suspend him off the ground and see if he could even hit it past the pitcher.
Aaron's bat speed came almost entirely from his wrists, not some big leg kick or long loopy swing. That's exactly why his line drives got on infielders and pitchers so fast. Quick, compact contact, basically his signature across a 755 home run, all time RBI record career.

Does an increase in grip strength result in higher golf Clubhead or baseball bat speed? 🧵

A pure squeeze applied symmetrically around the grip (fingers/palm compressing from all sides toward the shaft's center) is a set of forces whose net effect is zero linear force and zero torque, because the individual push components are directed toward a common center and cancel each other out geometrically. It's real force, but it's radially balanced — nothing is left over to accelerate or rotate the club.

Wrist "release" / rotation during the swing actually involves a couple of distinct motions that often get lumped together as "wrist action," but are mechanically different: Ulnar/radial deviation (the wrist hinging side-to-side, "cocking" and "releasing") — driven by: Flexor carpi ulnaris / extensor carpi ulnaris (ulnar deviation) Flexor carpi radialis / extensor carpi radialis (radial deviation) Forearm pronation/supination (the rotation that turns the clubface over through impact, or rotates the bat) — this is actually not a wrist muscle at all, but a forearm muscle: Pronator teres and pronator quadratus (pronation) Supinator and biceps brachii (supination) This rotation happens at the radioulnar joint (between radius and ulna), not the wrist joint itself.

Squeeze muscles (grip closure): Flexor digitorum superficialis/profundus (finger flexors) Flexor pollicis longus (thumb) Lumbricals/interossei (fine finger control) These act on the fingers, closing them around the grip — largely independent of wrist joint motion itself
