>>> Remember that though the knob does point at the ball it is only for 1 frame in 30 frame per second video, if the chp is working. More importantly is how is your son interpreting. <<<

Hi Rql

I agree it how the batter interprets a cue whether it is “Knob to the ball”, or “Quick hands.” Would the batter interpret these cues to mean he should keep his hands back and accelerate the bat-head rearward? Or, would he interpret them to mean he should quickly extend the hands and knob toward the ball?

From my discussions in the field with many coaches, I know how far to many of them interpret these cues. And I think you would agree with me that the latter interpretation does not produce a good CHP.
