>I don't post here a lot, but I would like to point out that this is a different Andy, and I'd never make the statement that linear mechanics keep the bat in the hitting longer.




I think you speak from different things shawn speak from better hitter and jack from hit the ball as hard as possible.
> It is right with rotational you can hit the ball harder then with any other mechanic, but the point is where i hit the ball. In the sweet spot and square is the key to be a good hitter, and this seems to be easier with linear mechanics, because the bat stays longer in the zone and longer on plane with flieght path of the ball. And it depends of the typ of player for a power hitter is rotational essential, for AVG linear might be better.
