> there is no doubt that linear hitting is the way to go. its the only way to get todays youth ready for higher level competition. look up the east cobb astros and you will see some of the greatest younger hitters in the country and they are mostly using a linear technique. you wont find an everyday spot in their line ups if you cant hit. linear is the way to go.

Pulling the knob to the ball does not make sense now that baseball bats have to have a -3 weight-length differential. By pulling the knob, you have to rotate the sweet spot into the ball. With rotational hitting, the sweet spot is rotated into the ball by default. If you truly believe that linear hitting is worse, please explain why almost all major league base ball players use the rotational style of hitting, and why 99% of hall of fame players use rotational hitting.
