>>> Nyman's animation is the worst demonstration of the swing plane ever created.

No high level hitter uses his lead arm in the manner that animation show.

Teaching that swing plane animation is teaching one to drag the bat.

Using that model...even with two hands on the bat...will drag the bat. It has to. <<<

Hi Teacherman

I obviously disagree with you. However, the readers can study the clips of Sosa and Abreu and decide for themselves if the bat and lead-arm trajectories are in the same plane and how much bat drag they experienced from that plane.
