hey guys,

I think the majority of talk about my swing has been good but I have to take issue with one point. All this talk about Gonzo getting his weight forward before me and thus I am forced to lunge is a farse. I understand that weight has to be centered but my weight goes further forward than Gonzo's does at anytime in the swing. What I need to do is keep the weight a little bit further back it would still qualify as "centered" so I won't make anyone mad by using a "weight back" buzzword that conjures up wrong images. Gonzo sits to hit and I somewhat come out of that. That is what causes the upright axis and that is what causes the steeper bat angle. Tell me if you agree. In an attempt to "center" myself I go too far forward and it has nothing to do with Gonzo getting his weight forward first. Just some thoughts, tell me what you guys think
