>>> Jack I am looking forward to the video. Your most recent DVD is an excellent resource.

One player who is really struggling now and who is looking at his own video to try to figure out what to try is Abreu.

That might be an interesting who's not hot to look at. <<<

Hi Tom

I also thought Abreu’s 2007 swing might be an interesting study. In the 2005 Home Run Derby where he set the record at 25, he exhibited the most consistently flawless power positions and swing plane of all the hitters there.

One of the problems we will have evaluating his swing is it requires two views (frontal and across the plate) to make an accurate analysis. They normally show only a frontal view unless the hitter’s home run or a game-changing hit warrants a replay.
