Softball hitting techniques lead to heated discussions, especially between the proponents of rotational hitting and linear hitting who are often firm believers in their approach and will spend hours arguing for it.
No matter what hitting technique, style or philosophy you adhere to, there is a fact: every swing has some sort of linear AND rotational component. In fact, you need both linear and rotational forces to generate maximum power.
In biomechanics, these forces are known as angular velocity (rotational speed) and linear velocity. In this video, I further explain how both linear and rotational forces are important to generate hitting power.
