Tom,

> Great clips from you as well. The scap load reference you often use has helped me tremendously in understanding the shoulders' role in the swing. I wanted to thank you for being persistant and mentioning it. There is a tremendous amount of loading power in that move......it's like loading a cannon. My Son took to it right away when I used the term with him, and he already had good transfer mechanics....it really gave him POP! Thanks!


i have pointed out many times the relationship between amount of bat cock and the degree of rotational "rotational" hitting....the more bat cock there is, the more the hitter of an "L" in the top arm at contact...thats not to say that if a hitter has full x-t he is "linear"...afterall, who is going to argue that macgwire or griffey jr are "linear"?...but the "L" IS a major chacteristic of "rotational" hitting...
