Hey Robert,
I got him figured out like the most of us do, and since SSUSA doesn't have the character or stones to get rid of him
like they did on other sites he infected
I think it's important to send up a marker now and again
so the new guys know we know who he is.
I agree with you, he's not worth addressing ever on the site and
it's always a waste of time at best.

Robert, we've been taught and have coached others to hit the ball hard
and hit the center of the ball.
"Cut it in half", "Rip it".
Hitting something hard and dead center,
aligns us with instinctive skills
as we have deep instincts for striking
stuff(enemies, wild animals) effectively
as in, dead center, or between the eyes
or center-struck.
These are the most effective, lethal blows in the animal kingdom of which we are members and hitting the ball
dead center gives us thousands of years
of conditioning and imprinting to draw on to use on command
like when smooshing a softball.
I believe this helps us be fundamentally
confident at the plate,
to know that the swing is inside of us needing to come out and not outside of us needing
to be learned and internalized.
I do believe this and teach it, too.

So, I think learning to hit a ball any other way is counter intuitive
(think PC vs Mac)
creates more tension than is necessary
and adds steps to a process that
has but one,
"Hit the crap out of the ball."
