Bagger,

Thanks for your description of your "feel" at setup for hitting.

Dr. Dave,

It is a very powerful set up position. Ted told me that after a long practice session, his left quad is sore from the workout. In reality both left and right quads are engaged. As you allow the hips to turn by the motion of the right hand, your weight will shift slightly off the left side to the right but don't overdo it, it can quickly turn into a sway if you aren't careful. It is the hips turning by the motion of the right arm which is a hand controlled pivot. The hip turn will shift the weight if done properly.

It is used for hitting and swinging by the way. The only difference is the downstroke hip motion differs between hitting and swinging. Hitting is a crossline hip motion because hitter is using the Angle of Approach procedure whereas swingers will shift parallel to the plane line for their Arc of Approach procedure. It is the hands that control the hip action.

Poor little ball, it didn't do anything wrong...

But hey...this is the lounge and I'm getting way to deep. Where can I get a diet coke around here?
