Ya, Brett did nothing with it. What’s next, Ted Williams was a crack pot because he played in the 1940's? You may swear by rotational mechanic...more power to you, lets see, Lau has the likes of H. Baines and G. Brett endorsing his technique, Mankin has whom? I don't buy that this is a relatively new site and that this is new information has yet to disseminate...if there was some mind altering real science here regarding improved hitting you can bet your arce that the very people who make thier living off hitting would be flocking to the site. The fact is, the rotational "$eller$" are making their living off those of you who think they've found the holy grail of hitting...doctor it up with made up terms regarding a psudo science and see how many video's we can sell.

Let me ask you, who is endorsing it?! And I’m not talking about the Dad’s testimonial who saw Jr. hit his jack in Little league…

I'll be at the ABCA convention in Chicago this January learning about baseball (and hitting)...Jack why don't you set up your booth there, even better why don't you come and give 40 minutes to some of the best baseball coaches in America...get some feedback on what they think.
