Dan- Let me do some more "field" research and get back to you.This may have to do with how bent the lead arm is or how the axis is tilted back to pull the bottom hand to hook the handpath.I'll experiment,and see what happens.



> tom....i too will anxiously await your research....but in the meantime i would like to point out that "This may have to do with how bent the lead arm is".......my personal opinion is that a MAJOR distinguishing chacteristic between weight shift and rotation is how much the lead arm bends...the more it bends, the more the hands get ahead of the hips, and the more that hip rotation is impeded.......and i know (or at least think) that you are a firm believer in blastsystem.com's "elbow in the slot", and there is no way, even with the bat one bat length away from the fence that one can maintain the elbow in the slot with the fence that close...........but we all listen to you, tom, whatever site you post to, so i'll wait like everyone else for your results.....respectfully, grc......P.S. to Jack: what are YOUR thoughts?
