"Top hand torque has long been discredited. Even to the point where Jack reportedly
doesn't emphasize it much anymore." <<<

Hi Tom

Over the years I have read many of Mark's posts and never once found him to have an original thought of his own. His mannerisms and knowledge of the swing was formed in the Nyman era and I doubt he will ever shake those shackles. He has become so close minded to the term "THT" that I doubt he would allow himself to grasp the importance of the bat's rearward acceleration.

No Tom, you have not missed anything. I still emphasize to my students that mechanics that accelerate the bat-head rearward (THT) is an absolute key to a high level swing.
