>>> This Jack Mankin guy does not not what he is talking about. I wouldn't listen to his advice. You don't rotate your shoulders. Rather, you need good opening of the hips. By purposely rotating the shoulders, your front shoulder pulls out too quickly. <<<

Hi Mike

Welcome to the site. – In a post above, Dan uses and analysis clip of Griffey’s swing to point out that his “front elbow is locked out very early in is swing.” You might Also find it enlightening to study Griffey’s shoulder rotation in that clip.
