To anyone out there that is a successful hitter, is there any reason you can't use shoulder turn takeaway and hit? I've always thought a hitter should use right forearm pickup, but lately I've had much better success using shoulder turn, then driving with the right arm?

Both Hitter and Swinger must Turn their Right Shoulder back to the Plane. However, neither must allow the Body bully to have its way with the Hands, that is, to pull them inside the Line (and under the Plane) during the Start Up.

Remember the Hands are already On Plane. The Right Shoulder is not. Therefore, the Shoulder must Turn back to the Plane (its job) while the Hands remain On Plane (their job). And the player's means of accomplishing this geometric purpose is...

The On-Line Right Forearm Takeaway.
