the hand don't work against each other, just listen to yourself.

I know exactly what I am saying, and YES, IMO, his hands do work AGAINST each other coming into and through impact. The timing of the dissipation of those opposing forces depends on the particular shot being played and the length of the club. It's done with specific grip pressures.

Very advanced stuff, but you have to have everything else in place or it's just a hot mess. Got to go now but I will try to post some more pics/vids later.

How well does Hogan know about the mechanics of the baseball swing?

[tembolo1284]

I'd say he didn't know about them much at all.

What should the underlined part read?

Also can someone explain what it means to roll the face open?

"the after" should be "the faster", he probably typed "the afster" and the spell checker changed afster to after.

On the back swing, the left arm and club are rotated clockwise.

I played baseball from 6 to 20. I have no idea what it means to rotate a bat. I can say it was 100% a right sided action (Im right handed).

Weight on your right side. Pivoted on your back foot. Right shoulder worked down/around (left shoulder up/around). Hips fired way open. Pushed as hard as your can with your right arm through impact. A TON of your power came from your right wrist hanging back and then forcing the head of the bat through the ball. Your forearm muscle powered your wrist.

And that homerun derby slowmo video is amazing! Those guys a freaks of nature.
