You have said the path of the bathead is not a circle.This being the only objection you had to BHL's theory, could you please tell us what the path is if is not a circle? From launch to followthrough, I see the path as about 30 degrees short of a 360 degree circle. I have looked at side angles, behind the plate, in front and over the top. For the life of me, I can't imagine what it could be other than a circle.Your enlightenmight would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I am referring to the path of the bat of major league hitters.

Thanks for your polite response, Teacherman. Actually I have read the board, and it seems as though you think the bat travels in a straight line. I guess I was wondering how you reconcile this with all the video that shows a circular path. It would seem to me that if you advocate a straight line, that would also meam a "hands to the ball" technique rather than a circular hand path. And since Jack has demonstrated time and again that this linear method you advocate produces less bat speed than rotation, I was just wondering what your basis was for your theory, because it seems like your reasoning is out of the mainstream. Thanks
