Hey Jack, I agree with Tom, I just explain it differently. The cue (that is "cue" T2 not clue, as in you don't have one...a level swing is generally meant to be level in terms of the plane of the ball not the surrounding topography) in question is intended to discourage "flipping" the wrists at contact...much the same as casting. Here you guys go again, at Christmas yet, going after those poor linear coaches (who are those linear coaches?) and their cues. If you isolate or separate a cue from the context of the mechanical issues of the student they often seem silly....in any sport. Jack, with your coaching background, I'd think that you would understand that cues are often not literal...pls take your engineer's hat off for a moment. jima
