Has anyone on this board examined Reggie Jacksons baseball swing mechanics? What do you think? Are they scientifically sound?

I think he strided a bit too far and put too much weight on his front leg but thats what Lau was teaching I think it led to an increase in strikeouts, but then it could also be that he swung violoently on every pitch regardless of the count.

You are so rediculous. You saw top hand torque? And if the same clip would have been a srike out, would that mean you DIDN'T see top hand torque? Would you care to share with us which major leaguers use top hand torque and which ones do not?
