Jack,

A common thread that I have found taught and used by girls is the linear approach to hitting. It is incorporated in all types of drills and philosophies of most coaches I have encountered. What have you seen as far as rotational hitting in relation to girls fastpitch softball?

Sorry, I'm not Jack, but I can tell you from personal experience that rotational hitting has gone beyond what could be considered a "trend". I have coached for over 10 years on the West coast of Florida, rotational mechanics are here, and in force.
