I think it works..Jack my have a different opinion


Let me take a shot at THT through a drill. I cut 12- 1.25" PVC pieces 34 inches long for this drill.

Take a PVC bat and do two different things with it.


1.
Place it back in the launch position( 45 degrees) ( bat centered and hands cocked) now take a stride and throw it head high back through the box. Make it spin around and around as many times as you can and keep the trajectory flat .

2. Now take the pvc bat and cock your hands either over the helmet( almost vertical) or (preferably for more feel) away out from the shoulder but with the hands stilll cocked toward the pitcher slightly( again almost vertical). Stride and form a solid front side base and throw the bat from that starting position and and throw it as far as you can back through the box creating as many full horizontal spins as you can.

You will feel THT. You will feel why some bats drag and why some barrels get into the zone

****** don't throw it and hit anybody...do not use at group settings ****************
