As I mentioned, I am from Canada and the classifications are different here. I have played 'Major' ball in the US tournaments for 15 of those years and played 4 years in Salt Lake City, UT on one on the premier teams in Major fastpitch. So if you are doubting may statements I can give you the ISC (International Softball Congress) web site and you can verify my claims by searching their record books. Anyways I am not here to get into a pissing match over this I am here to expand my knowledge of the game of hitting.
I agree with you that swing mechanics are very simular between the two games especially when you are talking high calibre competition. IMHO the rotational style is more suited to the game of fastpitch mainly because of the fact of generating faster bat head speed in a shorter time frame. This allows the hitter the ability to hit the opposite way with more power and to get the bat head throw the zone quicker. There are a lot more hitters in the game now that are rotational hitters but this style of hitting has always been present in most top hitters at the major level.
I would like you to comment on my question above about Hitting zones and hitting styles.

thanks
