>BHL if I could respond while we wait for Jack:I see the upper body above the inside of the rear thigh at toe touch but at contact I see the upper body above both hips which are facing the pitcher at this time ,upper body is right above rear thigh that is in an L.I believe the weight is centered on an imaginary axis centered between the feet which are balancing the body.If I was to describe it I would say the upper body is balancing in a centered position above the thighs that are both battling each other from opposite directions and creating equal force which enhances their speed.
