Great site!
I was surfing and happen to come across it.
I have been coaching my son since T-ball(he's now 14)about rotational hitting and didn't know it. Didn't know what a Linear or Rotation swing was until I read the site.I always saw better players in my area use what I termed the "cookie cutter" swing. They all looked the same. Stride in, throw the hands out and let go with the top hand. Not a very agressive way to hit.
Using "my" version of rotation my son sometimes gets jammed on pitches on the inside corner. I have told him to try and keep his hands inside the ball. Is this correct? Is there someting he can work on to help with this. My son is 5"10, 200lbs and verystrong with quick hands.
Thanks,

John
