1. I think most of you understand bat swings are a practiced motor response, they shouldn& #39;t be thought about (which would add to reaction delay). So the concept of contact points being "fixed" has everything to do with where in any location the ball and bat meet #HittingTwitter

2. In this series of photos, the tees positioned along the Z coordinate of this pitch location show a single optimal contact point within the coordinate. You can& #39;t be late or early and still hit the ball on the sweet spot. That is the basis of timing. #HittingTwitter

3. Simply because you are on plane with the pitch, as illustrated in the swing sequence in post 1 of this thread, doesn& #39;t mean you will hit the ball optimally. Only one position will be optimal, and this applies to every hitter, regardless of swing type. #HittingTwitter
