>>> I have used the names Joe B and Joe A. and have always used language that lets people know its Joe A. Its a joke. There hare others who use Joe A. but I dont really care so I never pointed it out.

About the frame by frame. Do the "famous hitters' you spoke about also write the text? Thats where the erros are, in the text. I have already told you that the frame by frame is of no use. It changes perspective in the middle or it looks like it does which is the same thing. It also had no shading which takes away depth perception making it of no value. Hey, but if its good enough for you, fine.

An example of the errors in the text of the Frame #1 is the first bullet. It says that the "hips, torso and shouders start their rotation around an axis"

This is clearly meaning all at the same time. No where does the text say hips first. If you are "aware of the important of hip rotation" why did you lump in in with the torso and shoulders, underlining shoulders?

Hips first is an important part of the swing and this statement is wrong.

I wont get into the other errors. The real Joe A. <<<

To whatever Joe A. you are,

That is correct Joe, in Frame #1 the hips, torso and shoulders do start their rotation around an axis. And I might add "in unison." It is in the previous frame, Frame "C", where the hips start to lead the hands. Here is part of what I stated in describing that frame: "The lead knee has started rotating around toward the pitcher. All slack has been taken out of lead arm so that any rotation of the shoulders will cause a corresponding acceleration of the hands. --- So by full initiation, Frame #1, "hips, torso and shoulders start their rotation around an axis"
