> Theoretically,timing is the most important element in hitting.Timing errors are minimized by the shortest hand path from launch to contact with maximum batspeed.Learned and practiced well,the mechanics Jack describes should be the best for most.Failure is likely to be because the usual experience is to learn a whipping hand path/linear mechanics which only a few can successfully retool and remain productive long enough make it to the big leagues and be successful. TOM,I THINK IM COMING CLOSER TO MY POINT WITH YOU,YOU SAY TIMING ERRORS ARE MINIMIZED WITH SHORTEST H.P. FROM LAUNCH TO CONTACT WITH MAXIMUM SPEED.1ST HOW DOES MAX. B.S. MINIMIZE TIMING ERRORS IT SEEMS MORE SPEED MEANS LESS CONTROL OF IT ,LIKE A CAR,BIKE,SKIING.ALSO IF LAUNCH IS AT THE POINT OF A INSTEAD OF B" THEN IT IS A SHORTER STROKE AND LESS TIMING ERRORS.ALSO IF REAR HIP ONLY IS BEING PUSHED FORWARD AND LESS TWIST AWAY FROM BALL WITH FRONT HIP THEN LESS HIP ACTION ALLOWING A MORE QUIET SWING NOT DISTRACTING FROM TIMING.WHY DO WE BUNT INSTEAD OF HIT AND RUN,BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSE TO BE MORE SURE OF GETTING FAT PART OF BAT ON BALL.WHY BECAUSE THEIRS LESS MOVEMENT LESS ROTATION LESS EVERYTHING TO MESS UP TIMING.NOW ALL OF THIS I HAVE SAID IS NOT TO PUT SOMEONE IN THE M.L.ITS FOR THE MULTITIDES OF KIDS WHO WILL NEVER GET PAST L.L. AND MAY HAVE TRIED YOUR WAY AND COULDNT DO IT.IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU FEEL AT THIS SITE THAT THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO HIT AND I THINK ITS THE HARDEST WAY BUT THE BEST WAY IF YOU CAN DO IT AND MOST CANNOT AND EVENTUALLY FALL BY THE WAY SIDE BUT IF THEY CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH SOME VARIATION OF THIS WITH A FEW QUIETER MOVES THEY MIGHT GET TO COMPETE A LITTLE LONGER.
