Doug...NO, hands and hips....if the hands and hips are correct....just as the head leads the body, THE HANDS AND HIPS WILL LEAD THE SHOULDERS. Doug, 2nd....in relation to a rotational swing, the hands are in front of the barrel in relation to the body. ONLY when PALM UP EXTENSION HAPPENS, which is after contact, DOES THE BARREL MOVE AHEAD OF THE HANDS. The relation to the hands must change just like you must hit the ball in different areas in relation to an inside pitch a pitch down the middle and a pitch away. DOUG>>>if the barrel was in front of the hands it WOULD ALWAYS BE A FOUL BALL....make since.

***************************************************************
Many clips I have viewed one cannot ascertain how well the ball was struck. In fact some of the swings the hitter had poor timing or was fooled by the pitch.
