Firt of all, I'd like to thank you, jack mankin, personally for all of the insight you put on this webpage. Last summer my travel season was cut short to 9 games due to mono. During that time, I discoverd your site, studied it, and started studying the baseball swing itself. I would consider myself very knowledgeable about swing mechanics by now, due to all of my research and it all started here. I had always been real good at hitting, but this upped my game even more. Now I know why and when things go wrong, and adjustments are easy, so thank you.
Now for the main point of this post: I heard a rumor that sounded very ridiculous to me, but I would just like to verify this. I heard from someone that Albert Pujols hits with his hands reversed. What I mean by that, is that his left hand (normally bottom hand) is actually on top, and his right hand (normally top hand) is actually on the bottom. Is this really true? I seriously doubted it, so I bet the kid five bucks who said it. How can such a great hitter swing the bat like that. I held the bat and swung like that, and it's ridiculous. It is restricting, and the wrists roll over prior to contact EVERYTIME.
Lemme know if I should start gettin' my money together...
