Hi Jeff

Welcome to the site. – THT is an abbreviation for Top-Hand-Torque.

The best hitters generate greater bat speed than the average hitter because their swing mechanics accelerate the bat-head around the entire swing plane from initiation to contact. THT is a mechanic that aids in first accelerating the bat-head back toward the catcher before the batter rotates and directs his/her energy toward the ball. Average hitters gain their bat speed out in front of the body by extending their hands (and knob) at the ball.
