>>> Many lefties will over rotate because of these facts. And just to prove the same old story it's their backside that swings over the plate, why?, because you rotate around the front hip joint. <<<

Hi All

I must disagree with both of Shawns above statements. The same old stories you hear about the body swinging like a gate are not supported with video analysis. A frame-by-frame analysis of their swings shows that their axis of rotation is not the front-hip. They rotate about the center of their body – the spine.

I will place below a post I wrote on this topic along with a video clip to support it. Once you have studied our opposing positions, your can draw your own conclusions.

What generates hip rotation
