Teacherman,
> Please don't forget this device also teaches line drives .The swing hasn't changed that much teacherman .I would say if there was a big change it would be the physical strength of the hitters these days.I feel strength is very important in hitting.I wonder what type of swing you will teach in 3yrs after they solve the streoid problem?I,m not saying all big leauge hitters use steroids i'm saying a certain percentage do.Why is that teacherman? GO FIGURE

I must say you've got the bob and weave down. Serpentine until you look good. But never address the question. Especially if it hurts sales.

If you think you can get more line drives by swinging down, then I hope my pitcher faces 9 of you on an every day basis.

If you want to hit the ball squarely as often as you can you better be swinging directly into the path of the ball as often as you can.

All pitches go down. From release to the catcher, they all travel down. If you swing down at those balls and hit them squarely, you hit them into the ground. Your mishits are your best hits. Now, that just doesn't make sense. Unless your a pitching coach.

Now, try to time a pitch going down with a swing going down. The success rate won't be very good. You have a one point in time chance at hitting that ball. Good thing, because if you're perfect you'll hit a ground ball.

Compare that to swinging into the path of the pitch. Much better result if you hit it square and much more likely to hit it square when your swing path is the same as the pitch path.

Makes too much sense.................unless your in business to sell the contraption.

Can you really sleep at night?
