The reason I use pros as a model is precisely because nobody yet has defined the "correct" mechanics. That is a pipe-dream, the correct mechanics are in significant debate.

I take the approach that if only 25% of hitters do something in a particular way--it's probably not an absolute unless those happen to also be the best hitters.

If 75% do something--it's starting to be an absolute. I would never take an odd movement and apply it to my training without seeing it in widespread use and understanding the basis for it.
