The batters are both initiating in a straight line. The hands go to rotation as does the backside. Are you seeing something different? Look at the hitter on the right side (left-handed hitter) and follow his hands down the chalk line (it is a straight chalk line).

Info, Let's keep it respectful bro...Papa, forgive us if we get out-a-line, sir.
Look at the hands traveling toward ball Papa and you will see they pull away toward first base chalkline before contact of ball therefore not remaining in a straight line to contact. Just look at hands in clip again before responding because IMHO the hands do not remain in a straight line even though the quickest point to something is a straight line that cannot be applicable here or with any hitting clip. Shep

Not only do they pull away from straight, they never start straight.
Watch the letters on Rose's back. The hands never move before rotation. They start with rotation, therefore they are in a circular path from the beginning.

WOW SAND !!! Are you psychic or am I finally getting it here!

The picture blown up did it. I see the rotation clearly on the blowup. I've got to go now and rewrite my hitting book. (Glad no one read it.) Shep thanks for the photos.
Hate to argue, but I actually see the straight part of the hand path in that swing.
The inside line of the batters box shows Rose's top hand first appears on top of the line somewhere near the back of home plate. The top hand does not appear to cross the line and appears to continue fairly closely on that line for about 17 inches as he rotates.
And from both sides he appears to stay on the ball (through the ball). To me this is a great example of the bat staying in the hitting zone (margin for error) while having a great rotational swing. And Rose got less extention than most.

haha Shep. I was doodling in V1 while you must've been replying. I posted 1 min. after you. 
Can you blow up the right-handed hitter like you did Rose?
swear to ya SAND...I had no idea...thought you were saying good night in other thread...now that's strange.
Believe we are all just finally figuring out how to hit bro fo sho!!!!! BTW, great clip IP!

Watch his arms/hands maintain their connection to the rotating shoulders. The only thing moving are the shoulders. How can the path be linear? Sandman's graphic shows it perfectly.

That backs my statement IP. Got PG behind me now. Look out world! LOL Shep

I'm not sure who it is? Is it Rose from the other side?
I hate to get off topic, but did I just lose and argument to one called "infopimp" another called "sandman" and another called "shepster".
My eyes tell me rotational/circular hand path.

As if you don't have anything to do.
Draw a line from Rose's hands starting point to the ball at contact. And another to where his hands are at contact.
That would represent a straight line hand path. That would also require extension at the elbows to counter the rotating shoulders and still get the hands to the target.
Doesn't happen.
