Okay, rotational, linear whatever all of these technicalities. Tell me what this great rotational swing should "feel" like for the player.

As those who have PLAYED at higher levels have discovered hitting and fielding, throwing and pitching for that matters are a feel thing. Drills and repetition are to develop the right feel. Whether the player is a visual or auditory learner, all of the terminology or video analysis in the world will not help the hitter achieve real game success until the "cage" swing can be translated to the game. All of this talk of rotational vs. linear and stuff is great for us coaches but if you are selling a product I want to know if you understand feel, and rhythym and timing?
