>>> You've mentioned on occasion that most people have little trouble turning the hips and body, but that under reviews you often find the arms lag behind. Explain your view on how top hand dominance or people that rely on the arms for power could find themselves in a lag position. Logic would seem to indicate that the body often times out-races the arms, therby putting the body rotation far ahead of the arms. <<<

This is the statement you made:

"While doing swing reviews I have noted that most of the young hitters rotate their hips just fine, but they fail to rotate the bat-head and it is left dragging through the zone."

If the bathead is dragging, then where would be the arms.....I'm supposing that they too are also dragging? Could you clarify what these swings reviews are telling you about the hitters? During these same reviews, what percentage of hitters have long loopy swings?
