Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Please pardon my ignorance, as this is all (relatively) new to me. After reading Ted Williams' the Science of Hitting, I have 3 questions. Firstly, does any major league batter bend down at the knees as is shown in his book to hit a low pitch? Secondly, how does The Science of Hitting compare to Charley Lau's art of hitting .300? I know several coaches who believe very strongly in the ideas that are in that book. Thirdly, what does Ted Williams mean when he says the "push swing"? I feel that he means a linear swing.
