The most powerful hitters in the game get their power from striding into their shot, and rotating their torsos. The upper body only provides the whip action at the end of the swing that makes contact. For that matter, hitting a baseball is mostly a matter of body rotation as well --- watch Griffey Jr. hit sometime ---- his swing starts in his feet. I've found that my backhand shot in r-ball and my sweep roll feel very similar in terms of what my lower body does. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jul 14 2000 - 08:19:41 PDT
