>>> Jack, how can you tell me at what point (or even better, at which frame) does Luis Gonzalez apply THT? Does he apply it the whole time? How exactly do you know? What parts of a person's swing do you see ands say, "Ahh! THT!"?

I am curious because I'm afraid I see no such force in Gonzalez. <<<

Hi Hitter

I just finished shooting a video for an instructional DVD on how to use our new rotational training tool "The PathFinder.” We demonstrate to hitters how it is used to develop a CHP, BHT and THT in their swing. I am going to make a clip of the THT footage available to show in my posts. It will provide answers to your questions much better than I can discribe with the written word.

I hope to have it available in a couple weeks. Incidentally, I teach my students to start from the same launch position Gonzalez exhibits. Therefore, his mechanics personify how I teach THT for pitches middle-in.
