I'm just curious: from what I gather from your information and Jack's tape, the key to batspeed is rooted in the hips. You seem to be saying that strong hands and arms are almost irelevant. For example, if you have two hitters with identical mechanics (upper and lower body), identical lower body size, lower body strength, etc, but if one hitter has stronger hands & arms, you seem to be saying that the one with the stonger hands and arms will NOT have an advantage. Do I understand you correctly? Thank you
