> This site is here to help you develop as a hitter. It teaches the RIGHT way to swing and it will only improve you. Not everyone will be a major leaguer not a hall of famer, but you have to start somewhere and there is never anything wrong with improving yourself. People figure if your small and in the bigs ure doing something right so they tell everyone to copy the slap hit and get on base approach that small guys have used in the past. In case you havn't noticed there arnt many little guys in the bigs, and the ones that are there to stay swing rotationally (Tejada, Giles Bros., Rollins, Furcal).

Listen. The baseball swing has undergone an amazing transformation in homerun and slugging power over the last few years. This website shows why some baseball and softball hitters produce more power and bat speed than other hitters with EQUAL athletic abilities, and dismisses the adage that "great hitters are born." The rotational hitting concepts presented here contradict the "weight shift and extension" theories of old. Welcome to your new understanding of the baseball and softball swing.

Bonds, Williams, Sosa, and others are some of the best hitters of all time, and most gifted people of all time. Most of us are teaching kids who are not going to be Hall-of-Famer's. Why do you not look at the swings of some little guys, over achievers, a la David Eckstein or Kirby Puckett even the Mick and Hank Aaron. You will find many of your principles hold true, but you will also find that weight transfer and a lot of the linear concepts are also apparent. They were able to keep there heads still while driving there weight into the ball. Many of them did keep there front sides down and extend there back sides through the ball. Watch some old episodes of the original Homerun Derby. Guys who weren't juiced up, driving there weight into the ball. I think you will be impressed.
