There is no such thing as a magical technique, or "silver bullet". Spending money on Jack's video is no substitute for 600+ swings off a tee per week. If you are willing to put the work in, you WILL improve, and rotational mechanics will accelerate that improvement. It's the correct way to hit a baseball.

What are you willing to do for the next 24 months? If you are willing to do tons of wind springs, pushups, pull-ups, situps and crunches, and weight training if you're old enough (15 yrs up), along with your hitting practice, you will improve. But it takes 20-30 hours a week of regular workouts to improve, and consistent hard work to become a "star".

Hi Scott
Are you suggesting that if someone wanted to just improve their swing (not necesarily hit the ball 500 feet), and they understood and followed Jack's method, they would not improve unless they practiced as long and hard as you outline here!
