I would be very interested to hear how the pinky being off the knob creates backspin. Also, how did you arrive at the 10% batspeed increase- measurements or speculation?
> Pinky off on both hands creates tremendous freedom of the hands through the zone. Top hand does'nt force itself over [creates topspin
like in tennis]. Allows the bat to go down through the [drop the head]
the ball creating backspin. Pick up a bat and swing it lightly with
both pinkies off and you will see what I'm talking about.
Hope this helps.
