Hi Joe,

First, I am not Tim Timmons. Tim Timmons is a hitting instructor somewhere, I think, in Texas who has a tape out on hitting. It is a rotational swing with mechanics similar but different from Jack's.

My daughter plays on a 16U ASA travel team. She makes contact but without much power. I've noticed that the hands seem to get locked up as she throws them in a Linear fashion (as she has been taught by several well known hitting instructors).

As for trying it, you are right it is more then trying it. It would be a change in style although the basics are the same. The hand/eye coordination she's developed over the years is the same. I suspect the timing would be somewhat different..dunno.

Thanks for your comments.

Alan
