people talk about weight distribution ar launch position (50-50) but what might be an ideal % AT CONTACT?......for example, a-rod, with back toe barely touching ground and body nearly errect, looks like maybe 95 % of weight is on front side.....and maybe a hitter who has more backward lean might be @ 75 percent......reggie jackson always looked as if he was more like 50-50 AT CONTACT.......has this issue ever been studied and for that matter, how much relevance might it have?......respectfully, grc.......
