Mike Austin golf swing

The world record holder for longest drive in a professional competition (515 yards) essentially uses the same principles as rotational hitting. He calls it a "double pivot" which is both a pendulum action of the hips while they are turning. It is very similar to Ted Williams' loading move which he talks about in The Science of Hitting.

Austin also said the key was in the hands and advocated applying torque from the top of the swing and having the top pass underneath the bottom hand at impact.

This song is traditionally sung during the 7th inning stretch?
   All My Roudy Friends
   Take Me Out to the Ballgame
   I Wish I was in Dixie
   Hail to the Chief
