I think a bottom or top emphasis is a bunch of verbiage to make coaches sound like they have special knowledge. I don't think they have recently seen a good pitch and tried to hit it hard. Considering that top/bottom is plus or minus 1/2 an inch, THEY should try to jigger THEIR swing plane 1/2" before they bother their hitters with an attempt to do so. They will forever shut up about it. In effect they are saying that they could consistently hit a 1" marble thrown at them - but no(!), it would be a 1/2" marble because they want the bottom half!!!!

Four seem heaters please define heater ?
I would not be preaching an aproach if it didn't work for myself and others at a division II college. We Teach the same mechanics Jack shows in his video, but add the top half visual.
