I guess the Red Sox proved once and for all that tht & other rotational principles is the way to win! Did Pujols or Rolen demonstrate rotational principles? Not hardly! Thanks a lot Jack for providing the inspiration to the Red Sox, but I really wish you and your rotational principles would inspire the Cubs next year!

I detected a noticable slow down in thier batspeed, particulary with Pujols and Rolen. You have to look at the big picture. If you fail to execute tht correctly, that's where your swing falls apart. you end up not getting a true chp, your swing goes linear rather than rotational, and you end up with bat drag .This bat drag slows down the bat speed, resulting in less power. Someone suggested that the demise of the Cardinals was due to the pitching of the Red Sox. I would like to remind everyone that no major league baseball game was ever won with a score of zero to zero. To win, you have to score runs, to score runs you have to hit the ball & hit the ball hard. You don't hit the ball hard with bat drag, you hit the ball hard by using sound rotational principles defined so well by Jack.

> Teacherman, I don't know who you are and in the circles I travel in (I am a scout for the Cubs), no one else has heard of you either. But I can tell you this: whether you believe in top hand torque or not, me as well as many other scouts look for one thing in a hitter: BATSPEED, and there is one source of BATSPEED and that is correctly using ROTATIONAL PRINCIPLES. Most of the scouts I run into feel that Jack, more than any other individual has done the most research & the best job articulating rotational principles.And for what it is worth there are some clubs that are actually sending THEIR instructors down to the farm teams to learn about rotational principles.Numbers talk, Teacherman, and when clubs see hitters like Bonds, Gonzalez, et al, they take notice, because, in the end, the ones who will be "embarrassed" are the hitters who stick their head in the sand with the thing-of-the-past linear concepts.Now that you have heard from a SCOUT, perhaps you would like to apologize for your disrespect to & misunderstanding for top hand torque,bottom hand torque, circular hand path and other rotational principles?

You mean to tell me I'm the topic of a professional scouts conversation???? I'm better than I thought I was.

And, no wonder the effectiveness of scouts is so low. After all, your searching for something that doesn't exist.
