PiC, one of the reasons you might have trouble with some folks who read your posts is the absolute statements you make leaving no room for another view or method. I happen to agree with a lot of what you are saying however to make absolute statements like the above places you in an omnipotent position. There are quite a few educated and experienced folks who read this board who might have different experiences and ideas. To state unequivically your view without qualifying statements like "I believe that zeroing in....or it seems to me....is just plain arrogant. Also as an ex pilot and classroom teacher of aerodynamics, please, I've heard enough of your throwing Bernoulli around like he was a buddy of yours.

Thanks...enthusiasm for ones ideas based upon experience is not arrogance to my way of thinking. I don't offer it as the only way...only the way I found worked for me and the boys I have taught with good results. I don't offer anything as a guarantee since that is silly in baseball the only thing guaranteed is that you will fail more than you succeed. The best that any of us can do is try to reduce how often.
