Posted by: grc () on Fri Sep 15 21:13:27 2000


tom.....thank you 4 u'r most recent response to my q's on top hand torque....i reviewed my clips again (most of which i got from setpro).....i made the following observations based on clips of aaron, sosa & ramirez, & i would appreciate your comments & interpretations of my observations......(1) back elbow reaches it's peak level of "horizontalness" (for lack of a better word)real close to, but slightly before front toe touchdown ......(2) barrel of bat's pointing in the direction of the pitcher also peaks real close to but slightly before front toe touchdown...... (3) by the time front heel touchdown has taken place, back elbow has already started down again (perhaps already back down to a 45 degree angle) AND the turning the knob of the bat toward the catcher has begun AND shoulder rotation has begun...............and another interesting observation.....neither williams nor mcgwire raise the back elbow to horizontal (of course that's not to be expected of williams anyway)nor does their bat point to the pitcher at any point in their stride..........again, i would appreciate your comments & interpretations of my observations.............respectfully, grc......
