>>> jack...any chance I could get you to send me a clip of a swing? Alnog with your description of it so that I may better understand your terminolgy and approach with the swing. I am always and will be forever a student of hitting and the game.Thanks. jeff <<<

Hi Jeff

I developed the Swing Mechanics Page to address requests such as yours. The batter shown in frame-by-frame are computerized drawings from a video clip of a well-known player. This swing hit a ball nearly 500 feet. There is a short description with each frame plus links to more in-depth analysis.

Note: We have between 20 to 30 thousand visitors to the Site per month. I find it interesting that the information on the Swing Mechanics’ Pages (links to Archive posts) is read by about eight times more people than posts on the discussion board.
