>>> Give me a break you are trying to tell me that a 9 year old kid who was nothing as a hitter now knows all about THT BHT and all the rest? Right!So a kid who has been playing from tee ball through college, saw countless videos read numerous books, had professional instruction, and your kid knows more then them?Jack you should be embarrassed by even allowing this post on your site. <<<

Hi

Whoever you are, I am not the least bit embarrassed. While doing many swing reviews, I am also surprised at the progress some of the kid made in a short time. Forgetting THT and BHT for a minute, just learning to keep their hands relaxed back at the shoulder and allowing rotation to fling the hands into a circular path offers great improvement over linear extension mechanics I first see.
