>>> You all keep talking about tht as if you think you know what it is. But I defy 5 different people to briefly define YOUR definition of tht, and I am willing to bet you will get 5 different answers.Sure, you can cop out by saying "reaearch the site" or "buy the dvd", but can ANYONE really articulate what tht means to them? I DON'T THINK SO! <<<

> Welcome to the site. I will give you as quick and concise definition as I possibly can. -- During initiation, THT applies a force at the handle that assists shoulder rotation in accelerating the bat-head in the swing plane (back toward the catcher). --- Hitters like Bonds, Sosa and etc., use THT during pre-launch (before shoulder rotation and the lowering of the elbow to the slot). The acceleration of the bat-head is supplied from the pulling back of the top-hand by the adduction of the arm and shoulder complex (no shoulder rotation involved).
