Hitters drive (push) the entire club- shaft and clubhead through the ball. There is no whirl- no arc of approach but an ANGLE of approach.
Agreed 6bmike, this is exactly what I "see": the angle of approach line crossing the target line and going to right field... and it's working well.
Now, quoting 2-M-4: "...consider Pivot Thrust as Body Power blasting a Swinger's essentially inert Left Arm into orbit toward Impact, or as supplying the initial acceleration of the Hitter's loaded Power Package so the Clubhead can be endowed with Pivot speed PLUS Right Triceps Speed",
don't you think that, even if the Hitter doesn't whirl the clubhead, he feels the clubhead accelerating and feels CF as an incidence of the motion just created???
It's not me, it's physics: I think that hitting or swinging (different sources of power), the clubhead moves in an orbit around the shoulder hinge. And everything orbiting has Centrifugal Force.
Thus, we should feel that resulting CF while hitting, right?!
It would be nice if an accomplished 4 barrel hitter like TED could describe if he feels that (Luke, do you feel the (Centrifugal) Force? ).
