i watch alot of slo pitch softball and see a lot of hitters walk up on the ball, kind of swing,does that make them a linear swing,or would they have more power if they remained stationary,and rotated like jack teaches, the ones i see hit the ball farthest are the ones who walk up on the ball why is that?

As long as their forward momentum has stopped by the time rotation begins they would not necessarily be linear.
