Question 1: Having established that initiating Top Hand Torque really helps with batspeed, is it logical to conclude that any action that assists the top hand to accelerate would be beneficial? If so doesn't it make sense to imitate the top hand action of Gary Sheffield (the person scouts use as an ideal for batspeed).

Question 2: In theory--If the ball were stationary and I rotated very fast around a stationary axis, let's say I put on a pair of skates and spin, spin, spin really fast and hit the ball with a bat would I need to use torque at all?
