> JACK,THIS IS CONFUSING AND EVENTUALLY YOU MAY SEE MY POINT AND ITS JUST ABOUT COMPARING 2 THEORYS NOT SAYING ONE IS BETTER.YES THESE GUYS ROTATED WILLIAMS AN EXCEPTION OF GREATNESS BUT HE DIDNT HIT THE O.S. PITCH MUCH AND GUESSED ALOT AND CORRECT.HE ALSO TALKED OF STRONG HANDS AND FOREARMS TO SWING THE BAT,MAKES ME THINK HE WAS CONTROLING THE BAT MORE WITH HIS BOTTOM HAND EARLY AND TORQUING WITH IT LATE.A MUTUAL FRIEND ONCE SAID BRETT MENTIONED USING THE BOTTOM HAND AS A GUIDE OF THE KNOB INTO THE BALL.THAT TO ME DOESNT SOUND LIKE PULLING ON THE FINGERS BACK.MY UPPER SUBJECT IS REFERING TO THESE IDEAS AS WELL.THINK OF THIS IF YOUR PLAYING PEPPER AND YOUR TRYING TO HIT THE BALL RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT TO EACH GUY IN LINE IN ORDER THEN IT WAS ALWAYS EASIER WHEN I WAS PLAYING TO GUIDE THE KNOB FROM WHERE IT WAS IN A STANCE DOWN OR LEVEL TO THE CONTACT POINT AND THE TOP HAND COMING IN A PUSHING MOTION AS THE BAT CROSSED THE PLATE.HARDLY ANY GUIDANCE,ONLY GENERAL DIRECTION WHEN YOUR HANDS COME DOWN THEN FORWARD TO MEET THE BALL.WERE NOT PLAYING PEPPER IN A GAME BUT ARE TRYING TO PUT THE FAT PART OF BAT ON THE BALL CONSISTENTLY.I THINK THE FARTHER THE BAT HEAD TRAVELS THE MORE ROOM FOR ERROR,YOU DO MORE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME.IF YOU HAVE YOUR KNOB DOWN OR A LITTLE FORWARD AND PULL WITH THAT BOTTOM HAND TOWARDS THE BALL THEN USE BOTTOM HAND TORQUE AT CONTACT YOU HAVE AN EASIER STROKE TO PERFECT.NOW IM WITH YOU JACK ON THIS NOT GENERATING MORE BATSPEED AND THIS IS B.S. SITE,AND I BELIEVE THIS STYLE WILL HIT MORE GROUNDERS AND LOW LINERS THAN YOURS WHICH I THINK HITS MORE BACK SPIN SHOTS AND LONG FLY BALLS THAT IF YOUR STRONG ENOUGH CARRY FOR H.R.AND I BELIEVE MORE M.L. PLAYERS WILL HIT THIS WAY IN THE FUTURE BUT THERE ARE MULTITUDES THAT WILL NEVER HAVE THE ABILITIES TO HIT THEIR BEST THIS WAY FOR REASONS SUCH AS HAND EYE COORDINATION OVER A LONGER SWING AND HIGHER B.S. THROUGH THAT DISTANCE BRINGING STRENGTH INTO IT.WHEN SOME ONE SAYS ON THIS SITE OR ANY WHERE ELSE IM HAVING TROUBLE STAYING ON PLANE WITH MIDDLE OF BALL WITH THIS SWING I START THINKING OF HOW MUCH PRACTICE THEIR DOING AND THEN IF THEIR POTENTIAL IS BEST MET WITH THIS POWERFUL SWING.DONT GET ME WRONG I GENERATE MORE POWER WITH YOUR ROTATION PRINCIPLES SINCE TRYING THEM AND I TURN THE KNOB BACK TOWARDS THE CATCHER AND DO MY IDEA OF ABC INSTEAD OF A-C BUT I MUST LET MY BOTTOM HAND DOMINATE THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION OF THE BARRELHEAD TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE SWINGPLANE PERSONALLY.THEIR ARE ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN THE SYSTEM TO BE MADE INDIVIDUALLY FOR EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT IF SOMEONE TRIES AND TRIES AND TRIES AND CANT GET IT TO WORK FOR THEM ITS LIKE FISHING YOU MIGHT NEED TO TRY A NEW SPOT THE FISH ARENT HERE.
