The general tendency, especially by hitters in a slump, is to focus on their mechanics rather than on their approach to
hitting. Before tinkering with their mechanics, the hitter should ask himself these questions:
* Formula Systems (1985) (NASDAQ: FORTY) shares achieved a new 52-week high on Tuesday morning,
hitting $59.10 with a daily change of up 3.68%.
* Nuveen New Jersey Quality (NYSE:NXJ) shares achieved a new 52-week high on Monday morning,
hitting $14.80 with a daily change of up 0.09%.
the past few years, recently said, "A lot of us who are tremendous fans of Charley Lau know that he's up there smiling because there's a certain amount of vindication for that style of
hitting he taught."
* Boston Beer Co (NYSE:SAM) shares achieved a new 52-week high on Friday morning,
hitting $408.54 with a daily change of up 0.5%.
* Crown Holdings (NYSE:CCK) shares achieved a new 52-week high on Thursday morning,
hitting $66.11 with a daily change of up 2.51%.
If the feet were 30" apart in the preliminary stance, a 4" stride would; put the feet in the same
hitting position.
* Intl Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE:IFF) stock achieved a new 52-week low on Wednesday morning,
hitting $117.29 and moving up 0.43%.
Hitting is hard enough without having the eyes bouncing around while the pitch is on the way.

hitting $2.26 and moving down 4.24%.
* JBS (OTC: JBSAY) shares achieved a new 52-week high on Thursday morning,
hitting $14.93 with a daily change of up 3.63%.
