After purchasing Jacks video I was astounded by the this different style in teaching hitting. I have noticed that the rotational mechanics he is talking about in a lot of great hitters when viewing those major leaguers in slow motion.

For the people who are using these new mechanics how has it helped you??? I was taught hands-extension and no matter how hard I worked it seemed like catching up to a 85 mph fastball and higher gave me some difficulty. I also noticed a significant lack of rotation in the lower body. Legs never got into the good hitting postion with heel over toe and an L in the back leg.
