I have a question about the casting of a bat away from your body during a swing. All the technique's that I have follewed in the past said that casting was the worse thing you could do for batspeed. That keeping the bathead in close to your body for that whip at the end was key.
I know this site isn't a big proponent for the crack of the whip idea, but I don't think casting is a sound practice either.
With the bht tht, it seems like you want people to cast the bat away from there body's, and basically elongate the swing.
I have a very rotational swing as it is, I was just wondering about your thoughts on this particular idea, I want to try and piece all of my swing together. Thanks
