>>> Jack, The two guys having lunch on the train story was amusing. I thought that some of the answers were like the guy who asked what time it was and the other fellow tried to build him a watch. <<<

Jeff, Hands hips and shoulders. The bathead of ML hitters is ahead of the hands at impact on pulled balls. I have over 100 clips of the best hitters and on pulled balls the bathead is ahead of the hands at impact. Balls up the middle, the hands will be about level with the bathead and balls hit the other way you will find the hands leading the bathead. When you say NEVER, you are dead wrong and the clips prove it.
