I'm in the Portland area.I need some help.I heard Charley Lau Jr taught Alex Rodriguez and obviously Arod got his money's worth.But thats my problem I can't afford $500 an hour or whatever he charges and besides that I dont think he is anywhere close to Portland.Does someone know of a hitting instructor within a 300 mile radius of Portland and who follows Lau's principals? Thank you I looke forward to your help.

How many books have YOU written? How many videos have YOU produced? How many major leaguers have YOU taught? The only thing I have heard about Dilbert is that he sits in a cubicle all day long.And your ignorant comment "Charles probably doesn't even know how to teach top hand torque correctly". Well I have news for you, from what I have seen of this site lately, none of you seem to even have the ability to explain what the heck that term means. How could you expect someone to teach something that you yourself cant even explain what it means?

All I did was ask a simple question. I got an answer from Big Stick (by the way it is Portland Maine)but from Dilbert and you all I get is retarded comments.What kind of a fruitcake are you any way?Whats this all about, aliases,"imposturators"? It sounds like you have nothing better to do then to play games on the internet. Maybe you could spend some of your unproductive time learning how to spell.So long, Major Dan. Maybe if you run out of games to play you could play with yourself! Ha ha!
