""Your shoulders should tilt to compesate for the angle of the ball and the height of the pitch.""

Not only do they tilt to get on plane but that tilt is the launch of the swing. Along with the handle torque rearward.

The shoulders laterally tilt at "go". The hips rotate.

And this stuff about the circular hand path is suspect. MLB hitters try to keep their hands from going ciruclar. Of course...with the hips rotating they will lose.

But if you teach shoulder rotation and a circular hand path you are giving poor advice.
