Jack,

> I'm not clear on one thing. Looking at a right handed batter, the left foot, how does it pivot. Do you pivot on your heel or on the ball of your foot. Your last video made it look like you pivot on the ball of your foot but it seems like you have better balance by pivoting on the heel.

Simon-
the front foot lands on the front half, heel still off the ground or unweighted. During rotation the front foot rotates as the heel comes down to the ground.
You will see hitters who take a hard swing eventually rotate on their heel during the followthrough. However that is an after-effect.
The pivot front front of foot onto the whole foot is the key part.
