> in regards to jacks's question teddy ballgame is correct all the great great hitters ruth,gehrig,dimagio,mantle,mays,foxx,were rotational hitters.aaron was too but he had a little weight shift.just try what ted said have someone holds your hips and see how much power you can generate.the hips lead the way followed by the hands.the weight shift hitters always lacked true monster power.cobb as an example but he did play in the dead ball era so brett would be the best example i think his high was maybe was 30 tops.no 40 to 50 homer seasons.the right hand is the power hand it accelerates the bat head to the ball.you hit the ball prefrebly with the hands in the posistion you would hit a log with an ax.but as long ass the good opart of the bat hits the good part of the ball good things can happen.

bottom hand is the power hand.williams bats left throws right.musial the same...hit with a top hand dominance and you'll be on a soccer field before you know it.
