[O.B.Left]

With only my own observation (and no statistical data) to back it up, I would say 'true'.

Why?

Because, that's the way most of us -- including tour players -- have been taught.

By their instructors (who were similarly taught) . . .

And, also, the mainstream book and magazine press.

Hitters are usually a dogged lot, simply going their own 'odd' way in spite of those who would have them do otherwise. And leaving, I might add, quite a number of swingers in their scoring wake.

There is more to this post than meets the eye. So true and I might add many a natural hitter has been ruined by a forced conformity to a swingers norm.
