Mr Procito was going to give us his version of the best way to use proper mechanics and generate bat speed - and then didn't. Unless it's buried in the threads, I can't seem to find it. Did I miss it? Thanks, Daniel

How could I be so naive as to think there was something for free. I am still calling your bluff, however. Play your hand or get out of the game.

> The point is pretty clear. Sam Procito thinks he has the 'big secret' and he's advertising here that he has it. But he won't tell because he is going to sell it for a profit. However that does run opposite of what he has said in the past about hitting gurus only being in it for the money.

I strongly encourage people selling their knowledge for profit. That is the American way. I personally charge $300 an hour for my hitting knowledge. I don't want to brag but I have taught major league superstars and so did my father. What is ironic is that those who appreciate my service most are willing to pay $300 per hour, but yet there have been times in the past when, in the spirit of public relations and philanthropy I offered my knowledge and even an autographed copy of my book for FREE. And what did I get in return? Hostility and HATE-MAIL!! The moral of the story is, how much you get in return for your knowledge is a measure of the value of that knowledge.
