JACK;IN ANOTHER POST YOU WERE EXPLAINING TO ME HOW BAT TORQUE IS CREATED AT A POINT BETWEEN THE HANDS AND OPPOSITE MOVEMENT OF THE BOTTOM HAND IN RELATION TO THE PULLING BACK OF THE TOP HAND.I THOUGHT THE BOTTOM OF BOTH HANDS STARTED TOWARDS THE PITCHER TO BEGIN WITH AND ON POINT OF BAT TORQUE THE BOTTOM OF BOTH HANDS PULL BACK TOWARD CATCHER TOGETHER.IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE OPPOSITE TORQUING AFFECT COMES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTOM HAND PULLING BACK AND THE TOP OF THE TOP HAND EXTENDING OUT INTO THE PITCH. ARE WE THINKING THE SAME THING AND SAYING THEM DIFFERENT OR AM I OFF ON ANOTHER TANGENT.RQL JACK, STILL PONDERING THIS IDEA OF BAT TORQUE COMING FROM THE PULLING BACK OF TOP HAND. IF THE TOP HAND DOES THE OPPOSITE OF THE BOTTOM HAND TO CREATE BAT TORQUE AT A POINT BETWEEN THE HANDS AND THE TOP HAND PULLS BACK THEN THE BOTTOM HAND MUST BE PUSHING FORWARD.PERSONALY I ALAWYS FELT MOST COMFORTABLE WHEN MY HANDS FELT AS ONE ON THE BAT LIKE ONE BIG HAND AND THE BOTTOM OF THE HAND CAME BACK AND THE TOP OF THE HAND EXTENDED OUT WHEN USING THE CIRCULAR HAND PATH.
