Hi Jack,

Does this type of mechanics sound like they would generate bat speed because this is what i try to do.

first when i am in my launch position I take my shoulder inward turn slightly, and my weight is slightly back, and my back elbow is slightly up, and my hands are very loose.

During my swing i don't excelerate my bat with my hands I use tht with bht with my shoulder (that's why I keep my hands loose), and drive my back knee toward the ball (whole back leg).

Also do you suggest I use my shoulders to exceralte the bat, is that what you mean by using the large muscles in your body to achieve great bat speed?

Thanks Jack.
