Batting - Final Points
Straight Line Path of Hands
The direction of the hands in the swing is a Straight line from start to finish.
The sequence of the actions of the hands in the swing:
Bottom Hand is directed on the line to the inside edge of the ball
Top-hand Wrist snaps in a straight line
Top Hand remains on that line until the top-hand arm is fully extended straight out towards the field
The Bottom Hand remains on the line until the top-hand arm reaches full extension
The Hands remain on the Straight Line Path until they are pulled off the by the momentum of the barrel of the bat accelerating past the Line (past the Bottom Hand HINGE). There is No ‘circular’ effort made with the hands. All effort and force produced by the hands is in a straight line along the Straight Line Path of the Hands.
