Positioning of the top hand

Posted by: Jeff H. () on Tue Aug 31 01:08:32 2004

Where should the top hand be during the swing? I know it should sweep the bat behind the hitter's head, but should the upper back arm be somewhat vertical or horizontal right before contact is made? I believe Barry Bonds often keeps his upper back arm somewhat vertical, then he obviously straightens it, pointing to the pitcher at contact.
