Jack,

As the bat turns through the first 90 degrees the hands begin to travel forward. It is the combination of the hands moving forward and the bat entering into the lag position that create a linear phase. There is energy direction down the length of the bat along with rotation.

Shawn, we are both using two fairly new windows XP computers. I know Jack does not have a program installed to play mp4 files. Would you be able to convert it to wmv or mpeg, or direct us to a site where we can download the software.

Thanks.
