Thanks Teacherman. I was going to remind him of the same thing. This guy just seems argumentative for the sake of arguing.

>no, i did not say chest and belly button, i quoted "wrist action or torque" from this web site, it says, and leads a reader to believe, that the hips and entire torso rotate simaltaneously, which i will never buy into.
i am not backing off one inch, i am just willing to admit what is true. the hip turn is prior to contact and the hips will be fully or close to fully open to the pitcher, now any intelligent person can deduct that there is a good chance the belly button will be facing or close to it. but, the chest does not open, it remains on the ball with the head for vision and all field hitting puposes.
