The more the hands advance with a static bat, the farther the batter gets behind the power curve. --- Therefore, anyone who advocates keeping the body and bat-head quiet while quickly thrusting the hands forward is certainly not teaching the swing mechanics exhibited by the best hitters.

Jack

Please expand on your statement. "The more the hands advance with a static bat" can be interpreted in different ways. Are the hands moving due to rotation? Or, are they moving on their own? What is considered a static bat? Barrel not arching? Or bat completely still?

Help me out here. I hate the English language when it comes to discussing hitting.
