Re: Jack--A Noncontroversial Question

They believe that, by doing so, the ball will be hit farther. However, I have always held a diametrically opposed opinion--the back leg should be in an "L" shape at contact. Having this geometric position in the back leg, in my opinion, will allow the ball in the latter position, when struck properly, to travel further than when the leg is extended fully (i.e., in the former position). What are your opinions on this subject?

Frank Thomas hits it pretty far with a strait back leg. H.Bains, Brett to name a few...
