Jack:
You have prompted me to think about hand torque.
I think hitters would generate more torque at a point bewteen the hands if the hands where seperated in the grip as much as practical, similar to how more torque is placed on a nut by using a wrench with a longer handle. Have you ever explored grip techniques with some separation between the hands (as unorthodox as that might seem)? Am I way off base in thinking about your hand torque ideas?
