>>> Hi Jack,

When I posted the thread Hank's transfer mechanics, I mentioned there was much talk about weight shift vs rotation. I also pointed out that Hank might shine some light on transfer mechanics, considering through most of his career he was a rotational lunger of some sort. At the time there was a very good thread (threads) on the upperbody before the weight shift and rotation outbreak.

Here's the thread, I think there was another good one I read prior to posting Hank.

Proper use of the arms in the baseball swing:

Hi Shawn

Thank you for the reminder. Not adhering to the principles outlined in Major Dan's post and the "proper use of the arms" post, has stalled the progress many young hitters and caused slumps in the performance of great hitters. -- I am going to expand on this in a reply to RQL's post above.
