Jack,

Can we agree that every hitter shifts a portion of his total weight to his back foot before the bat is launched into its path?

No matter how little that portion of weight is, it is still shifted from not being there to being there.

Some hitters shift more weight to the back foot than others, but they ALL do shift some weight back before the bat is launched into its path.

The question I have for you is this. Why do you think they all do this?

If your answer is "Timing", than you must be more specific.

Thanks,

Jimmy
