Home run derby
-
Just out of curiosity, how in the world are people hitting 520+ foot home runs in HRD? I feel like I am hitting it as perfect as possible and I can't go further than 510. Is there a glitch or something like that?
-
I wouldnt say a glitch but there is a set of factors i feel you must match up such as
-Zone hitting with full analog stride ONLY
(Using a batter with a smooth and fluid load & swing is crucial IMO. For example jimmy fox has a terrible load and swing vs Judge-Coors field ONLY. You cannot achieve those mumbers in any other field. It must be coors...
-if you didnt know already, baseballs simply go further given how high above sea level coors field is....lighter air, further airtime...
Since its at coors field its safe to say that you gotta use a right handed batter...There simply is not enough place on the right side of coors field and you cant really knock em over the stands on the right field side. U wanna hit the ball just over the NIKE swoosh sign in left field there is nothing back there. Its an open parking lot
-power level means very little. For example My go to used to be mitch hanigar and now is julio Rodriguez. Neither are known as big power guys but what they do have are really smoothe and fluid "pre load" and swings at the plate.
-as perfect or close to perfect you may think your hitting it, i am 98% sure that you are swinging early.- using full analog, zone swinging Its all about getting your batter to make a full "load" as the pitcher is in his motion. Key is to make it look as smoothe and realistic as you can.
- there are 3 noise levels that relate to the "cracks of the bat" you will hear in any swing type( contact, regular, or Power)
The hardest and best sound with power swinging is quite significant, as it sounds deeper and louder than what you may get with a ball hit with "perfect contact" which is probably what you are hearing. Most think that to be the best sound FX when in reality its only the 2nd level of 3 levels of sound FX power swinging...its not easy to acheive abd will take practice...You need to combine perfect timing, max load power, and
Ball on barrel sweet spot...
