"I truly believe all hitters should squash the bug."

Why would you teach hitters to do something that the best hitters in the world don't do?

If you look at photos of the best hitters, they finish on the tips of their back toes, not the balls of their back feet. In the case of some hitters (e.g. Ted Williams), they back feet come entirely off the ground.
