good stuff aka....bonds power is generated by a short swing that is dominated by hip and shoulder rotation.....vlad and griffey use a longer stoke to generate the bat speed they need...as does sheffield....

bonds, mcguire (st.louis era) and sosa are the only hitters i have ever seen that could be that compact and consistently drive it out.....

there is no coincidence that the balco story broke and homerun production went down??


and if you want to see one great example of hip rotation.....watch the babe....that guy had some serious torque in an era when nobody knew to teach it....the babes swing was a thing of beauty....
