Jack, Thank you for your response. It is difficult to explain hitting mechanics and theories in writing. It is much easier to do it face to face as you know. But I believe in rotational hitting, like yourself, just wondering if you feel there is any linear action with the back knee as the weight shifts. Back knee moving inward then turning with the rotation of the hands and shoulders. I have stayed away from discussing the use of shoulders many times for fear of pulling off the ball to early, but i am understanding (I think), what you are talking about when you talk about the shoulder rotation in relationship to the swing. Thanks
