I read in a different post last night that hitters are not advised to start in a nuetral hand position at setup. This did seem to help to consistancy of strike. Hitters can start their back swing from an "Impact Fix" position, where the required orientation of the wrists can be seen, set and held from that point right through impact. Swingers use the "Impact Fix" procedure to ascertain the amount of right wrist bend needed for the shot in question before moving to adjusted address prior to commencement of their back swing. The swingers visualised and memorised wrist orientations are then implemented, at the players chosen point in his back swing, and held through impact. __________________ IB "My only handicap is me!!!"
