>>> For whatever it adds to this discussion, we have had good results on my fastpitch team over the years, emphasizing front shoulder rotation as the primary "cue" in initiation, the other being "spinning the hands" (a synonym Jack coined for THT). We tell them "put your mind in your [front] shoulder" and initiate by "exploding" the front shoulder around. If they are in the correct trigger position, focusing on initiating by really exploding the front shoulder around seems to us to "unify" the necessary mechanics (except for THT). <<<

Hi Daw

I could not agree with you more. In fact, I think it the most effective cue there is for developing sound rotational swings. I have noted substantial increases in bat speeds with just that cue. It also helps in correcting lunging problems. A batter finds it difficult to lung forward while concentrating of getting the lead-shoulder to rotate rearward at contact.
