The "debate" on weightshift vs. rotational is the result of each side of the debate not having a way of clearly articulating their position.If they did have a way of articulating their position better (not just with words but with frame by frames to back up their words) you would find that there is really more agreement than disagreement.

>>>I think that when a hitter strides if he allows his upper body to drift forward with the stride then he is what mostare calling weight shift.If his weight stays over the inside of rear thigh with the stride then it shifts to center with the rotation of the hips it is called rotational,and yes the video would be of great help on this site.
