The Latest Research on Non-Dominant Golf Swing Training The role of non-dominant swings as a part of golf training programs has attracted much debate and argument. Golf is a highly unilateral sport, where the player is trying to achieve maximal movement power and efficiency in a single side rotation. As such, individuals argue that there is no need for opposite side golf swings (right handed golfer swinging left handed), if the sport movement is centered around single side rotation. In contrast, those who support the role of opposite side training suggest that benefits from this type of training is worth the time invested for golfers of various skill levels.

Sports event organizers often face challenges from coaches, which can impact the planning and execution of events. 1. **Non-compliance with Rules**: Coaches may sometimes not adhere to the specific regulations and rules of the event, whether it's about player eligibility, game rules, or equipment standards. This can create disputes or delays. 2. **Scheduling Conflicts**: Coaches often have specific preferences or requirements for game schedules to accommodate training routines or travel plans, which can conflict with the event's logistics and other teams' schedules. 3. **Communication Issues**: Miscommunications between coaches and organizers about event details, updates, or changes can lead to misunderstandings and logistical nightmares. 4. **Behavioral Issues**: Coaches can be very passionate and sometimes this passion spills over into aggressive or inappropriate behavior, whether towards referees, opponents, or even their own players, potentially disrupting the event. 5. **Safety Concerns**: Coaches may push back on decisions related to player health and safety if they believe it could negatively affect their team's competitive advantage. 6. **Resource Demands**: Coaches might request additional resources, such as specific facilities, equipment, or scheduling accommodations, which can be difficult for organizers to fulfill while managing equity among all participants. 7. **Interference in Event Operations**: Some coaches may try to influence or interfere with event operations beyond their remit, such as the layout of the competition area or the scheduling of officials.

Where is the future of Major League Baseball (MLB) headed? In 2024, a staggering 74% of all injury-related days missed were by pitchers, with arm injuries alone accounting for 58%. The financial toll reflects this as well, with MLB teams spending $686 million on injured pitchers this year—$561 million solely due to arm injuries. This rise in pitcher injuries has been building steadily for over a decade. Since 2015, MLB teams have spent $7.5 billion on player injuries, with $3.1 billion on arm injuries alone, which represent over half of all injuries. Pitchers account for 67% of the total days missed. The pandemic undoubtedly disrupted the player development cycle, but since 2021, days missed due to arm injuries have surged from 46% to 58%, and the share of cash lost due to pitchers has risen from 54% to 69%. We’re seeing the impact in the postseason: a shift in availability and depth of quality starting pitchers and a growing reliance on a revolving bullpen. It’s like watching a high-stakes showcase event where endurance and consistency fall behind. MLB knows there’s a problem; I’ve spoken with them on multiple occasions and proposed pilot programs to reduce injury rates. But changing course isn’t easy when the very dynamics that fuel this surge in arm injuries are embedded at every level of baseball. So what’s the solution? Change the rules? Change the game itself? That might be MLB’s simplest path forward. We’re currently on track for pitchers to account for 80% of all missed days in the league, with over 60% due to arm injuries. It’s absurd. Teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have shown they can handle massive payrolls and stockpile injuries and still make it to the World Series, thanks to depth and top-tier talent. But this dynamic creates a widening gap when big-market teams can afford to overcome injuries, while most small-market teams struggle to develop talent and remain competitive. Ultimately, we want the best players to stay on the field, grow the game, and deliver the best product for fans. #injuries #pitchers #SaveTheGame #playoffs

Thanks to the United Shore Professional Baseball League for their invaluable assistance in helping us finalize the DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit. During the first two weeks of the USPBL season, we set up the DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit on the game mound to capture the deliveries of 40 pitchers, providing them with their respective DVS Scores. The videos captured have been instrumental in helping us to fine-tune our synch and scoring logic that accounts for the vast combinations of movements in the pitching delivery. In preparation for the release of the DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit, we've ensured it captures pitchers of all levels, from Little League to professionals, with fastballs ranging from 50 mph to 95 mph. This process has led to significant breakthroughs at DVS in our mission to bring AFFORDABLE, markerless motion capture technology to those who previously couldn't afford or access advanced biomechanics tools. Stay tuned for the pre-release of the DVS MoCap Kit, which is fully integrated with our DVS X-Ray Software. This combination offers automated biomechanical insights that objectively assess injury risks and sustain higher velocity. By focusing on the inputs of the pitching delivery rather than the outputs, the DVS MoCap Kit helps you LEARN how to educate pitchers on the movements associated with decreasing arm injury risk while sustaining and improving game performance metrics/success. #sequencing #solutions #SaveTheArms

Correct Posture for Golf If you have good posture when you swing the club, the clubface hits the ball and the ball travels based on the force and angle of the impact. Some tips to get you in the correct posture for golf: • Stand up straight, shoulders back • Your arms should be relaxed and straight • Hold the club at your waist • Bend slightly from your hips, back straight, until the club touches the grass • Flex your knees with a slight bend, putting weight on the balls of your feet

To help pitchers tolerate the higher torques of pitch velocity and sustain their performance while delaying major arm injuries, teaching and showing how to incorporate greater impulse of the throwing arm into higher output throwing will be crucial to helping amateur and professional baseball pitchers maintain value for longer. Impulse = F⋅Δt We are building the time scale to produce force into ball release. Think about a long onramp for a car build speed to merge onto the highway at higher speeds. Sequencing better earlier in the pitching delivery will allow your upper body mass and arm to be in a more optimal position at foot strike, generating a greater impulse into ball release. If you sequence poorly, you can still achieve high-pitch outputs, but there will likely be increased torsion and torque on the throwing elbow/shoulder; hence the volume of Tommy John surgeries in baseball. Over the last decade, I've used the Delivery Value System to help educate pitchers on how to sequence better through the pitching delivery to decrease the risk on their throwing arm, improve efficiency/timing, and ultimately tolerate the demands of throwing over their career. Additionally, as pitchers have improved their sequencing (inputs), pitch outputs have had a direct impact. This increase in pitch output metrics is primarily due to the ability to utilize greater mass and leverage into each pitch, thus increasing the impulse of the throwing arm. I've been heavily focused on arm impulse for the last several months and will begin to track and quantify it with a DVS X-ray. In November, after almost a two-year layoff, I started ramping up my throwing to test our mocap kit. In doing so, I've begun throwing more frequently and getting back into positions that allow for demonstration of arm impulse. If you watch the video comparison, you will notice my body and arm orient almost identically into a weight-bearing foot strike. However, as my trunk and arm progress into ball release, I can generate a greater arm impulse, indicative of the video's keyframes. In May's video, I'm allowing more lag time for my arm to create the force and release the baseball with my upper mass closer to home plate as my back foot stays anchored into the ground. This transformation is only possible with the proper alignment and stability of the rear foot and, eventually, the front foot to facilitate the greater impulse of each throw. As I scale up the intensity of throwing, I'll provide additional clips showcasing the speed of the joints and velocity of the pitch for further analysis and illustration of how to increase arm impulse. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to message me. #sequencing #armimpulse #pitching

From 1949 to 1965, Robin Roberts averaged an astonishing 250 Major League Baseball (MLB) innings pitched per year, amassing 286 wins over 4,688 innings. That durability and dominance earned him a rightful place in the Hall of Fame. But the key to Roberts' legacy isn’t just in the numbers—it’s in the delivery that made such longevity possible. His mechanics, a masterclass in rhythm, fluidity, and power, are a roadmap for today’s pitchers who aspire to both health and greatness. Yet, this art is fading. When I watch an MLB game today, most pitchers resemble "Generic Pitcher 1" from MLB The Show. They throw hard, sure—but they don’t last. To endure at the highest level, pitchers must rediscover the craft: -Be loose. -Find a rhythm. -Learn when to throttle up or down. -Disrupt hitters' timing. -Above all, get outs. Robin Roberts’ delivery is a blueprint. Pay close attention to his rear foot—the subtle rise of the heel as his hands swing overhead, the deliberate step and hook onto the rubber to anchor his body, and the seamless transfer of energy into his lift and kick. This cadence and rhythm synchronize his movements, allowing his arm to be perfectly timed at foot strike and decelerate safely into his body. It's a visual symphony of biomechanics—a lost art that every pitcher and coach should study. At DVS Baseball, we’ve been teaching aspects of Roberts’ delivery for years. Now, with DVS X-Ray, we can measure and refine these mechanics like never before. If you’re serious about teaching pitching mechanics, look to the greats. Understand the deliveries of Hall of Famers like Robin Roberts. Your pitchers—and their arms—will thank you. #SaveTheArms #mlb #phillies
