"as long as the elbow maintains a constant angle from initiation to contact."

This is one of the most profound qoutes I've read on this disscussion board. My friend always argues that Chase Utley's uses linear mechanics because his lead arm is always bent at contact. But if you watch Utley's swing closely you seen that he has that bend in his front arm from initiation.

Great insight Jack

By the way Utley must have some incredibly strong forearms because when your front arm is bent the way Utley's is your forearms must basically work on their own to keep the bat stable without the help of centripetal force.
