I was surprised to read some posts from late April regarding the hitting technique that I teach and have written about. I haven't posted recently on this board because of the abuse I took by posters who judged what I teach without trying it first. The fact is, I recieve e-mails weekly from people who have read the article on the Internet and who have actually tried hitting this way. The feedback is always overwhelmingly positive. I appreciate the recent discussion on this board regarding The Torque because the tone is constructive. Richard Schenck, one of the posters recently contacted me and raved about the results his sons were achieving. My only goal is to help players of all ages improve their hitting skills. Over the past 10 years, this technique has allowed hitters to drive the ball with more power, reduce strikeouts, and hit for a higher average. How can that be bad? I welcome questions or comments, because like all of you, I am still looking to improve what I teach. Thanks.
