Hitting against a rigid yet solid front side is key
Quote from Zig>
"The forward swing is then initiated at the ground with the application of force to the back foot. As force is applied to the back foot, it creates a linear shift of weight, at the same time, their is a release of rotational energy around (rotating) from the front foot up to the hip of the front leg (the heal which has dropped during linear rotational shift, to provide a solid front side to hit against".
This is also vital in squaring up to the ball at contact. Is it possible to attain that a half-moon impression on baseball after contact with sliding hips? I say no way. peace
