Stever ... I didn't ask the question. You did.

Maybe you'll get around to posting that research you stated you would post. Then again ... maybe not.

In any event, if you wish to discuss a particular topic then go ahead and discuss it. You've already stated that you don't generally agree with me ... so you don't need my input.

It's a very simple question FFS, that you keep avoiding. I honestly wanted to see if you could speak for yourself, rather than just attack others. All you do is bait others to share their beliefs so you can attack them, never have you once offered any solid advice on your own.

I have balls, so I will answer my own question. I like the swing on the left, although he catches it just a little farther out front than I like. The swing on the left will have greater batspeed.

Please, no one without balls respond to this, haha.

JMHO. Wouldn't the swing on the right have 'greater bat speed' because the hands are closer to the body.

The hands, I believe, closer to the body will make them stronger, not necessarily faster (the strength part comes into play when the ball is not purely squared up). I believe in the two swings the bat traveling the furthest will be faster (have done test). Its a good trick when doing OnDeck camps, or similar, to tee the ball up a little further out front to get a faster recorded bat speed.

Stever, I am speaking for myself. I'm not interested.
