Jack,

>>> "Forgetting for a moment what we see in video clips,..."
I'm sorry but I will not.

"...can you touch your extended top-hand thumb to your shoulder as I described in the drill? "

I will satisfy your curiosity with an answer if you describe the drill here (too hard to keep track on this board, and I'm too tired to look it up).

My guess is that I won't be able and then you'll say that only the best hitters can, but I will try. Give me the drill. Please be specific. <<<

Hi Ray

Whether you try the drill or not is up to you. Nor, do I seek or need your approval of it. The improvement in my students is all the proof I need.
