>>> Jack Mankin. In your opinion what type of hitter was George Brett (Rotational, weightshift, or a combination of the two)? Because George was the most successful hitter under Charlie Lau Sr., it stands to reason that he used principles professed by Lau. But often what is actually done comes under different terminologies. And in some instances two people may be talking about the same principles, except that they explain them differently. Also, since Brett was the last man to go late in the season hitting over .400 should we not include his approach more in our discussions. (Food for thought) <<<

Hi Hitting Guru

Charlie Lau Sr. was a highly respected batting coach that taught the swing as he saw it. Other than Brett’s long aggressive stride, what attributes of his swing would you attribute to Lau’s teaching?
