>>> Bonds didn't even start using THT until about 4 years ago. I can't prove it, but I suspect that not only Bonds but many other hitters copied Jack's ideas. Can you imagine how many homers Bonds would have if he would have went to Jack's ideas when he was with the Pirates? BONDS IS AWESOME!!! <<<

Hi Marty

I thank you for your support. However, Bonds has exhibited the core mechanics of #700 before Batspeed.com came on line. It would be more accurate to say that studying the swing mechanics of hitters like Barry helped me defined the batting principles found on the site.
