>>> How can I develop the shorter quicker swing vs the longer swing? I still want to use rotational mechanics but i want to be able to wait on a pitch longer.Any drills to cut down a longer loopy swing? <<<

Hi Mark

You seem to associate rotational mechanics with “long” and “slow.” What is your definition of a long swing? Does “shorter” mean to you that the hands are ‘less’ extended at contact – or more extended? Do you feel Barry Bonds must not use rotational mechanics because he is quick to the ball? – Mark, it would be helpful to hear your thoughts on these questions.
