Hi BHL

You have shared that information with us before. But, it does not address my question regarding what angle you (and Mike) say the lead-elbow should remain at during the swing. – I will restate the question.
#
You stated, “I just think a batter should bend both arms as much as possible” and “note that the angle of the elbows neither increase nor decrease.” In another post, I think you referred to both elbows being “chickened winged.” That would mean the angle between the biceps and the forearm of the lead-arm would remain at about 25 to 30 degrees during the swing. Is that about the degree you advocate? If not, what degree would you recommend them to remain at during the swing?
