Matt,

Bonds' swing is an awesome one, at that. Unfortunately, Tony Gwynn (who was one of my favorite all-time players...hit for a tremendous average) uses linear descriptions of a beautiful rotational swing. Gwynn is narrating from his own mechanical perspective. He could never hit a ball as hard as Bonds does with his own mechanics, though.

Also, several key frames are not present, as one can't see the good THT and prelaunch torque Bonds uses in this swing.

Matt, thanks again for posting this. It's always a pleasure to see the good hitters display such mechanics!

Marcus
