>>> I've got to disagree with both you and Jack on this one. Every hitter has his/her own swing thoughts that lead to the result that they desire. What we see them do on film is a result of their own feel for what they personally emphasize in the swing.

If A-Rod thinks about "staying in tight with his hands" in order to create the swing that we see, than that is what works for him.

Everyone has a slightly different feel for their swing and they need to emphasize different areas of mechanics in different ways to have success. <<<

Hi Jimmy

Would you recommend that as an instructor is discussing a swing mechanic, the student should try to read the instructor’s mind rather than pay attention to what he is demonstrating?
