>Did I catch you on a bad day? My intention was never to have you analyzed clips, or try to trouble shoot a swing you've never seen. The references to the clips, and the descriptions of the swings was to give back ground on why I was asking the questions. All I wanted was your opinion on two phases of the swing. These were the questions I asked:

Post 1:
My question is at what point during shoulder rotation do you feel the arms should swing away from the body, where should the hands be relative to the chest (ie perpindicular to sternum, back shoulder, etc).

Post 2:
.....when do you feel, in an ideal situation (because in trying to reenforce mechanics mith my son I try to work under ideal conditions) as in hitting off a tee, should the arms begin to move away from the body, and where should the hands be relative to the chest at contact? Also, when should the bat head begin its upward approach (assuming that if the plane of the swing is circular and the bat head must swing down, parallel to, and then up relative to the ground), relative to contact.

I thought you answered them quite well in your second post. Thanks. As far as my message board etiquite, I appologise. I'm relatively new to this. But I don't think it's necessary to be condescending. I asked you because I felt many of your posts are interesting, and you seem to have a comprehensive knowlege of the swing. Thanks for the response.
