>>> That is great that you can observe video and tell me what you are seeing, but the art of hitting involves different sensations in order to create the swing that you see. What you see isn't always what the hitter was trying to do. <<<

Hi Jimmy

When it comes to verifying your batting theories, you have set up a neat dodge system. You seem to care less what the batter’s mechanics produces. Your arguments concern unverifiable items like his “feelings”, his “intentions” or what “sensations” you think he may have. You know very well that nobody can verify what a batter is thinking during the swing. However, we can see what trajectories of the bat and limbs his mechanics did produce.

So Jimmy, quit dodging my question. If most MLH bat trajectories are not on an up-slope at contact, point them out.

Note: the same will be true for many of your other statements. – I have verified with video analysis all the principles we use at Batspeed.com. I will expect you to be able to do the same with your future posts.
