>>> Jack, Regarding my father and what he said in his past books"The Winning Hitter and the more revered title, "The Art Of Hitting .300. I am entertained by your message about the front leg firming up and the assumption that I haven't memorised his contributions. If you would go back to page 75-76 in "The Art Of Hitting .300, He clearly states how this act of the swing occurs. You must also remember that it was written 20 yrs. ago. If you would read my new book "Lau's Laws on Hitting", I know you would clarify your missinterpretations on many aspects of the swing.

Jack -
You are a gentleman. I think we can all learn something about life from you in the way you reply to posts of different 'attitudes'. To me that is even more important than baseball technique.
