Jack, thank you for answering my post on "Staying Inside The Ball". However, this brought up another question. After I read everything on this site and watched your video, I've been smokin' the ball. But after I read your theory about extending the lead arm back toward the cather I noticed that I have slight flexion in my lead arm and on an inside pitch I have even more flexion at contact. It looks something like Barry Bond's lead arm. I tried to fully extend my lead arm like you talk about in Frame #C Ready launch position, but I still have very slight flex and even more flex on inside pitches. Does this mean I have a strait hand path or do I need to keep my lead arm strait and get more rotation and swing earlier to hit that inside pitch?
