>>> I fully agree with that assesment. that's one reason I have a problem with the conventionally-taught fence drill. The only way for the bat stay clear of the fence is for the hands to draw in and extend in a forward manner.Then the bat ginally arcs out, far too late.Actually I don't know who originally gave the "lag position" it's name, because it implies a counter- productive concept (bat lagging behind. Again, in my view, it is a convenient reference point with a poor name to describe it. <<<
