jack, i know you believe, as i do in rotation around a stationary axis...furthermorei think you believe, as i do that the front arm should be fairly straight, not bent during the stride (some critics would call this "barring" the front arm)....

i have observed that keeping the chin tucked into the front shoulder during the stride will go a long way on (1) keeping the front arm fairly straight and (2) facilitating a "one-piece" swing....

have you ever observed a relationship between keeping the chin tucked into the front shoulder and your ideal batting mechanics?....thanks...
