I think that you are utterly confused at what a linear swing path really means. Linear describes the general path of the hands during the swing as well as the action of the back knee. Keeping the hands close to the body during the swing puts a hitter in the most powerful position possible in the shortest amount of time. Rotational hitting
describes a swing that casts the hands around the baseball creating slow hands and every spin other than the backspin that is essential to hit for power. and will surely end a kid's career well before he even moves to a 90' diamond. I hope to God that you are just confused at what to name your hitting technique but I'd say that Rotational (unless you are insisting that a hitter actually swings with their shoulders with a circular batpath) is the wrong name. If you told any professional that his swing looked "rotational" he would be insulted. Am i confused at what you are trying to explain about the swing? I hope so.

Perhaps you can post a video of a kid using your swing theory in slow mothion with a step by step explaination.

Thanks,
