>>> I've never posted under a different name and don't recall making the statement before. It's something I wish wouldn't come up, because it's significance to hitting mechanics is zero!

Pujols says fast hands, Gwynn say's pull the knob, I say quiet the body with fast arms, but the hips must engage correctly. You say this, Tom says that, Epstein says that.....we all have a theory. You say your right and I say.....maybe so, but I'm not convinced.

Maybe someday. <<<

Hi Coach C

I place little importance on what a player or coach says about a hitter’s mechanics unless a frame-by-frame analysis verifies their comments. -- For any theory to be taken seriously, it must be supported with the laws and proven principles pertaining to its function.
