.It was a simple question. In the photo Pujols' rear foot is off of the ground. Does that support your assertion that the weight always remains back?
With Pujols' rear foot off of the ground, where is his center of pressure felt ... the front foot or rear foot? The answer is not his rear foot, as it is off of the ground.
Would it make more sense if we thought about the swing as a shift in the "center of mass" or "center of gravity" instead of a weight transfer??? My hypothesis is that the better hitters have a smaller range of motion of the pre- to post-swing COM/COG than the less succesfull ones because there's less movement (particularly the head/eyes) and there's less effort involved in staying balanced. Just pondering
