You have said the path of the bathead is not a circle.This being the only objection you had to BHL's theory, could you please tell us what the path is if is not a circle? From launch to followthrough, I see the path as about 30 degrees short of a 360 degree circle. I have looked at side angles, behind the plate, in front and over the top. For the life of me, I can't imagine what it could be other than a circle.Your enlightenmight would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I am referring to the path of the bat of major league hitters.

I guess I was wondering how you reconcile this with all the video that shows a circular path. It would seem to me that if you advocate a straight line, that would also meam a "hands to the ball" technique rather than a circular hand path. And since Jack has demonstrated time and again that this linear method you advocate produces less bat speed than rotation, I was just wondering what your basis was for your theory, because it seems like your reasoning is out of the mainstream. Thanks

Don't expect Teacherman to be polite and don't expect him to be in the mainstream.He's going to have a hard time converting people who know the value of rotation to convert to linearism.
