Hi Jack,

I was reading the mechanics for launch position and the inward turn. It states 20 to 30 degrees separation of hips toward the pitcher, shoulders toward the second basemen. Does this mean that the hips stay "neutral" pointing directly towards the pitcher while the shoulders rotate back (pointing towards 2b for right hander) and this causes the 20-30 degrees separation?? Thanx for clearing it up.

Also what really does a flexed lead knee mean?? I'm sorry if the questions sound dumb but I want to make sure I know everything because I am going to start my swing over from scratch and buy a heavy bag and really try to get my swing at least more rotational.
