I have been "lurking" on this forum for about a month now, trying to learn all I can about the current theories and techniques regarding Rotational Hitting, including even some of the difficult to comprehend/understand PCR ideas. My son uses what you I guess would call a hybrid Linear/Rotational swing. Some of the hitting problems he encountered the past couple of years (casting, weight too far out front, fast hips, etc.) were somewhat solved by some old school linear teachings(i.e. lead w/ knob of bat, front elbow down, etc.) However, we now want to incorporate more rotational theories into his swing.
My main question is where is a good place to start? Who's books/DVDs should we start with (Epstein, Yeager, Englishbey, Parker)????? Should I just start simple and go with Epstein's book on hitting?
A secondary question: I started another thread about my son's recent elbow injury and his current rehab. Based on the fact that he can't swing a bat with both arms currently; does anyone have any good lead-arm/one-arm hitting drills that are good for teaching the rotational techniques?
Thanks
