ok, first i would like to say that it takes guts to develop a theory and put it out there for everyone to see.

> > > there is most def. rotation in hitting, but it is not done with the back and shoulder muscles as the leads as "wrist action or torque" would have you believe. as well, the entire body does not rotate at the same time as "rotation and the stationary axis" would have you believe. also at no time does the hitter chest and belley button face the pitcher just prior contact,"wrist action or torque".
> > > the rotation is in sequence that starts from the ground up. and don't give me your gary ward comments, gary didn't invent that he just wrote it down, and last i checked his teams could really hit.
> > > every muscle in the body is probably used at some point when hitting. the primary muscles if hitting properly would be;the quads and gluts, the abs(core strength),forearms and hands.

> What should we be paying you for? I did not get one useful tip or bit of useful information or technique or how to or anything. Quit teasing us and tell us how to do it the right way. What happened to the "stuff" on timing. Tell us your secrets. I do not mind paying for anything worthwhile, give us something of substance "Hank King" or should I call you "Mr. King" or just "King" or "Mr. K" or "K" -- K is not a good letter if you are a hitter.

>oh georger, you just sit around and stew don't you. don't be mad just get better, and you can call me what ever you like. i know who i am, see i use my real name, i'm not scared. you make me out to be like i think i'm the man. thats not the case, see i think reinventing the game is out of line and i'm just pointing out the flaws in hopes that it might save one kid. see before you publish, you should develop some players, take your theories to the yard and put some players out with break down and high reps... get over it
