> Joe, you really need to make a closer frame-by-frame study of the swing before you speak. Many of your statements just do not hold water with what a video breakdown of the swing shows. --- For example you stated, "Its my beleife that to swing up on the ball the batter must do one of the following: 3. Hit the ball at the end of the swing, after the wrists have rolled over." --- Joe, on a good swing, the path of the bat-head bottoms out and starts angling upward well before the hands are fully extended and the wrist start to roll. This is clearly shown in a frame-by-frame study. A little more study before making those types of statements would make your arguments far more credible.

Jack,

I guess you just assumed that I didn't look at the frame by frame on your site. I have and I don't think it shows what you said it shows
