No doubt helps to explain why Texas has produced so many great ball strikers? I knew a cat who played field hockey for a national team, who was also a superb ball striker. He credited his ball striking to the strength of his hands, wrists and forearms which he said was developed hitting hockey balls knee high off hardpan. He was a true "hitter" with very little pivot and whole lot of thrust! Made Mr. Fort's swing look Jonesesque!

My two cents
