Good catch sultan. I will add to that there are taller pitchers, shorter pithers, side armers, over the toppers (not taking on the arm slot.myth at the moment!) Etc. Much more than a 10 inch release point difference here so don't buy the BP vs. Game analogy either. I moght also add BP is thrown slower so would require a lower bat path not a higher one. Bottom line this is no good as a philosophy - so far we all agree on that - and I believe it is no good as a cue either.
