>Scott W. "you can't think and hit at the same time"

If you're trying to teach a kid a swing that is bascially 180 deg. opp. what you've ever shown him, and you're learning it off the internet of all places, and he already hits real good (just not powerfully enough), the coach (Me)better be thinking A LOT during the practice/phase-in stage, otherwise you may have one messed up hitter.
Esp. since the website/DVD gives a great job of telling you 90% of what you need to Know, but doesn't really answer quesstions of what you do when you're caught in between and want to still produce some hits.
There was a book during the 70's that was a groundbreaker: VW Guide For The Complete Idiot. Other shop manuals told you 90% of what you needed, so you ended up with a few uninstalled parts in the peach bascket and no way to get to work the next morning. VW Guide told you 100%.
This is a phenomenal site but I wish people who responded to it would concentrate less on arguing infinatum "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin," and instead share their experiences FOR Complete IDiots how to transition-- in the real world of live pitching -- from Lin to rot. And what kind of ultimate success they had with the new swing.Problems they overcame, etc.
It's extremely important to initate/abort agst live fast pitching. It's simple and ingrained with lin: start the knob a bit.
What's the best way to "start your hands in Rot.'?
At the plate, absolutely, see it, hit it, don't think.
