It's been a little over a year since I purchased the Final Arc II along with the Swing Mate and heavy bag. I have been teaching my sons the rotational swing since then. My 10 yr. son is playing Little League Majors. There are 8 12 yr. olds, 2 11 yr. olds, and 2 10 yr. olds. Generally managers are very reluctant to start 10 yr. olds because usaually they require about half the season to get used to the faster pitching speeds. However my son has started 2 games at second base and 1 game at catcher and has never been removed. He leads his team in BA (571) OBP (636) and is second in SLG (714). He started the season batting in the 7th position and is now batting 4th. Not bad for a 10 yr. old who is also the smallest player on the team. I know it's early in the season, but he's off to a good start which has surprised a lot of people. Thanks again Jack.
