>>>Knight1285@aol.com Mr. Lexicographer-I'm sorry to inform you that you have it all wrong!!!Driving your back leg into the ground ???? Sorry, but you can debate weightshift vs. rotation, stride vs. no stride, etc until the cows come home, but there is one fundamental principal that goes unchallenged: YOU MUST HAVE WEIGHT TRANSFER FROM BACK TO FRONT, and simply spinning on your back leg will not do it!!!Sorry I have to be so blunt, but whatever your problems may be now, they will surely get worse if you start "sitting and spinning".<<<

Hi Bart

Welcome to the site. I have a different view of how energy is developed for the swing than you stated above. Please go to “Batspeed Research” and read “Rotation and the Stationary Axis.” It discusses “Weight Shift” vs “Rotational” mechanics. Let me know your thoughts.
