Torque


Posted by: Paul Petricca (petricca@home.com) on Wed Aug 1 06:05:10 2001


First, I want to compliment Jack on developing this site for people to seek and share information on hitting. Although I have not seen Jack's video, much of the information I have read on his site about his theory makes good sense. My name has been mentioned on this message board periodically becasue I published an article in 1996 about a technique that includes the power of "torque" in the baseball swing. Reprints of this article also appears on several websites. The reason for my message today is to respond to some of the feedback regarding the hitting technique that I have been teaching for the past 10 years. As noted in a June posting, my technique employs the use of a "flat bat" or a bat that rests on the bicep muscle (not the shoulder. The key in my approach is that the bat does not just rest on the arm, it is pressed on the arm creating torque. The results are more line-drives, more power, and fewer strike outs. The reason I like this site is because Jack also employs torque and rotational theory as an effective approach to hitting at all levels. Keep up the good work Jack!
