Wanna know how little most hitters truly understand about how they hit?
Barry Bonds will tell EVERYONE that his daddy taught him to swing down on the ball and chop wood and that's the way hitters should do it.
Now watch him actually swing the bat:
Barry Bonds doesn't even swing down on the ball. He does EXACTLY what Williams says to do. He attacks with the knob, keeps his hands inside and 'loops' the barrel down/around to match the plane of the incoming pitch. In essence, he goes back before he comes forward to put the bat path in alignment with the pitch.
And yet he'll tell you that's not what he was taught.
