> > > > > >
> > > > > > Thanks, Hitman, I'll repeat it, the question was about Reggie Jackson. I said Hitman, I think that a front view is not as clear as a side view but could you still explain the details you saw in the clip? I have always been a big Jackson fan.If you could please tell me the specific things Jackson did that you were able to see I would appreciate it.Thank you
> > > > >
> > > > > Well, there isn't a whole lot I can say, It is a bad clip for details, but I really brought his front-shoulder in pretty far(counter rotating)he strided sort of far and casted alot of weight onto his front leg. He held his hands just below the shoulder out infront of him. After his swing his back knee almost touched the ground. If you can give me your e-mail adress I can send u the clip so u can view it at your own pleasure.

You say it's a bad clip for details, which most front view clips are, and yet you originally said you could clearly see top hand torque. What techniques did you see that diferentiate top hand torque from non-top hand torque?

> You sound like you aree too young to drink. Yes, you already mentioned "that he used Top Hand Torque", but the original "complaint" was that you used that term rather loosley. You were asked for specifics to justify your explanation that you could "clearly see" top hand torque. You blew your top, resorted to name-calling, then later admit it was a poor clip. And the specifics you cited were actually things Charley Lau Jr or Dave Hudgens might say they saw. So............once again, what did you see that distinguishes "top hand torque" from a "non-top hand torque" swing?
> My guess is you can think of NOTHING. Point is, don't be so quick to categorize everything as top hand torque or bottom hand torque. Sometimes it might not be either! Like I said, GOTCHA!!!!!!!!

Is this what I get for sharing my information with others, just some smart ass sassy talk, if it is then I am sorry for trying to give u details on Reggie Jackson, I am sorry i even wasted 1 minute of my time tryin to answer your question. Hell, I even offered to send u the clip, and all I get is Gotcha!!! Its one thing to be actually be smart and rude, but to be stupid and rude at the same time, your just a world class moron. Sorry I ever tried to help you. Why don't u understand things before talking about them, go and View some clips before you run your mouth. I have no more responses for your ignorant self
