A Thought for Shawn


Posted by: Jack Mankin (MrBatspeed@aol.com) on Wed Jan 17 11:21:04 2001


>>>The discussion is primarily focused on each hip causing equal rotation (i.e., 50% each). However, while some feel that using the front or back leg will cause hip rotation, I would have to politely disagree. In a post I wrote to Shawn, we both discussed how the legs could swivel a certain amount of degrees without causing hip rotation.

But, if the back hip is used properly, THE HIPS MUST ROTATE. I guess it is a "feeling" of how to facilitate hip rotation.

To be succinct, my swing actually uses equal power to cause hip rotation, although I feel that it comes from my back hip (100%). <<<


Hi BHL, Shawn & Major Dan

Would it be safe to assume that batters who feel the back leg is mainly responsible for hip rotation are also back-side (top-hand) dominate? And those that think front leg is more front-side (bottom-hand) orientated.
