give me the explanation or literature to prove that the mechanics of the softball swing and baseball swing should be the same. If there not the same,( you are wrong, Maybe),tell me what is the difference?

Now there's and understatement of amazing brevity. : ) You can also find threads on this subject here: http://compchat.com:8080/~1/login

As far as "baseball vs softball swing", I don't find the terminology to be very useful. In general, the swing that I hear called the "softball swing" is using linear mechanics. Sometimes good linear mechanics but often bad linear mechanics. In any case, since linear and rotational mechanics are both used in both baseball and softball, I think the terms "baseball swing or softball swing" are more confusing than helpful as far as understanding each other's theories and thoughts. Perhaps we could start with Tom describing his ideal "softball swing"?
