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.

Brian,

It should play in the Quicktime player. THe first one I posted should have played in the Quicktime player, but I have seen people have problems before. The Quicktime plugin should play the mp4 clip. If it doesn't play either of the files you might try downloading the latest version.

I'm not sure if I have anything that converts wmv. Never really used that codec. How do you even get something that converts video into the Windows Media Player? I've never used it much because the playback and frame by frame is somewhat poor.
