>>> Jack this is why you get in trouble sometimes. A nice father of two baseball boys asks a question and in stead of answering him you go off on a tangent with someone who is trying to answer the original question. You do not agree with him so answer the same question he tried to answer in your words first then go on to refute what he is saying.<<<

Hi Dave

You make a good point. I agree that players and dads who post their questions are seeking ‘sound’ advice on their hitting problems. However, in this case, I addressed the post to George, not the dad. The reason I addressed George instead of the dad’s problem is because much the advice George gives to almost every dad and player that post here is highly misleading. And for the sake of these dads and players, I feel it necessary they have information to evaluate the advice they are getting.

I would also point out that in many cases, I wait to see if other coaches answer the question asked adequately. I do not feel my input is necessary for every question asked.
