why don't you focus on important things like hand path? a rotationl swing does not allow kids to use the proper hand path. you compare a rotational swing to major league swing, but the reality is hands are the most important part of the swing. i don't want people thinking that self proclaimed hitting gurus really have a broad understanding of the hitting process. if you want to talk about major league hitters, watch their hand paths, then start teaching hitting.

Proper hand path is a result of using rotational mechanics correctly. Don't come on this board claming you know what your talking about after you saw Albert Pujols on tv claiming hands are the most important part of your swing. Major Leaguers may be good but they dont always know what they are talking about when describing their swings. I analyze video every day of great hitters like Bonds, Griffey Jr., and Pujols and I have also watched videos of some of the top high school players in the country. I can see the rotational mechanics they use as described on this site. They are very present you just need to stop being so ignorant.

Since you are so knowledgable, how does using rotational mechanics restrict kids from executing the proper hand path to the ball ? I bet you still think "Straight to the ball" is the proper way to hit a baseball. Wake up and stop bashing the people on this site, it is probably the most knowledgable hitting forum online.
