hi all

> i experimented with my legs. i started with legs first and then the whole kinetic chain. and it worked! tremendous bat speed and power. at the beginning it was hard to time the pitch and it looked weird but once you get it down you start hitting like jeter. it is amazing. i cant wait to try against live pitching. i dont know if i will be able to time pithes this way but i have to try it. it feels good and connected now. i still struggle at times with keeping hands back as my body rotates.
