I agree it really doesn't vary ...when the ball is just a little more than halfway to the plate is when the heel drops ...That is a fact for big league hitters. You'll screw yourself up by trying to get it down early...never understood that logic.

I agree that the front heel will drop before the hitter decides to finish the swing...but the heel drop is part of the beginning of the swing that everyone does whether they end up acutally swinging or not. It's part of the "yes, yes" phase in the "yes yes no" hitting mentality if you know what I'm talking about. I've seen a great video of posada taking a pitch on here before that illustrates this perfectly...i'd post it if i knew how to.
