>>> Jack, not to belabor the point but, in all due respect,you say theres torquing between the hands, an opposite of actions.
Ted said;"conclusion, the base ball swing is a push swing."
I'm no physicist but, I can't imagine how both theories can exist within the same action?
Thank you. <<<

Hi John

You are right, the two theories cannot exist within the same action. There have been a good number of threads to the board discussing the vast differences in how good hitters describe their mechanics from what a frame-by-frame analysis actually reveals. That is why I rely more on what a hitter does than what he says.

As the Archive post below shows, Ted’s not understanding the importance of his accelerating his vertically held bat rearward to the lag position was a sad commentary on his teaching legacy.
