This rolls the wrists. This causes a weak swing. Better still, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIT THE SWEET SPOT WHEN HITTING THIS WAY. Guess what? A smart power pitcher ties the hands up for an inside strike. When you make contact, it is down near the handle. SNAP! The bat shatters. And another routine grounder.

GymTeacher...

Is the front hip "planted", stationary in this clip? http://media.putfile.com/hipturn

The hip and front leg clearly turn away from home plate..

As far as the straight line from A to B theory...This really destroys any credibility you may be looking to establish here. Watch clips.
