Jack or anyone: Would you care to comment on Todd's swing on swingmechanics.com? He tends to focus on linear mechanics, but when I look at his swing, it seems to me that the core of it is rotational. He does use an extended wind-up, but he hits with a straight lower arm and rotates his hips and shoulders with impressive power. It looks as if his right arm straightens more than I would expect, probably because he hits the ball so far out in front of the plate. Do you believe he is achieving maximal power with this swing? Scary if he is not, because he is hitting some balls 400 feet. -- Al
