Hi Jack,

Thank you for the excellent videos. I have been following your site and videos for five years and I think that now I finally have a pretty complete understanding of THT and its application. My 15 year old son's understanding is much enhanced as well. I guess it's one thing for a coach to tell a hitter to let the ball "get deep", but it's quite another to instruct with the proper mechanics that allow a hitter to do so.

The videos also substantiate your case against the fence drill. The young hitters would have little problem sliding their bats through a narrow space. A-rod and Pedroia - not so likely. But what swing would you like to have?

Thanks again for the excellent and valuable (priceless) presentation.

Chuck
