Ran across this link. Seems like a perfect clip to illustrate classic linear teaching. Whaddaya think?

I didn't bother seeing how much the product costs but if a hitter or coach really wanted to acheive this swing it could be achieved by simply practicing the classic fence drill. The classis fence drill is with the hitter having one bat length between the fence and his stomach.Conversely, if a hitter practices the Bart fence drill (increase distance from fence by about a foot or so),the hands can be drilled to go in a circular path from the very beginning of the swing.

What i think is especially interesting is at the top left-hand corner of the screen there is a "picture" showing the hitter with the top arm in the "L" position, whereas in the clip the hitter never comes close to this position.
