Can anyone tell me if the " Hitting for excellence" course sold by Dave Huggins is worth the money and is does it teach rotational hitting? I would like input from others that have it.

But I have been linear before, and will not go back. Rotational is obviously the way to go. Huggins is not rotational (I have seen his tapes) and if someone thinks he is "the most accurate", that is fine. But as I said, most people here are rotational believers so if someone is going to try to bring linear concepts in here, very few will be convinced that that is the way to hit. And that is another reason I am here. I am here to discuss, exchange ideas, and answer questions people might have about rotational hitting. I am open to ideas within rotational hitting, not any other form of hitting.

> In Jack's introduction to the site he says he welcomes an open exchange of ideas.Do you think Jack might entertain a motion to amend his introduction to "I welcome an open discussion of ideas as long as the discussion pertains to rotational concepts. Any one who is contaminated with linear notions are not welcome to the site".?



J you better ask Jack that one. I am not Jack and I can not read minds so if you want the answer your going to have to ask him.

And his ideas/goals of the site don't have to be mine or anyone else's who post here. As the old saying goes "you get out of it what you put in". I'm putting in my rotation beliefs to get others rotational beliefs. I'm not here to change minds. I'm here to discuss rotational mechanics.

I never said someone with linear beliefs wasn't welcome. I said that if he/she had those beliefs they are probably wasting there time discussing them here. Why?

1) If they are trying to change people's beliefs they most likely won't. I thought you had been around here long enough to know that, J.
2) If they are trying to discuss linear mechanics, they will be refuted and challanged with rotational mechanics. Again I thought you had been around long enough to know that.

It's no secret what Jack's beliefs are. It's no secret what most people on this site believe. Unless the person is open to new ideas, he/she will not get anywhere debating linear mechanics on this site. I once had an open mind to all types of hitting. But I have converted to rotational, and will never go back to anything else.
