The video clip below of Greg Luzinski is from the early 80s and was taken from Charley Lau Sr.'s video on hitting.

The thing to notice is Greg Luzinski's pretty much dead lower half; how he swings pretty much all arms. He's also quite extended at the Point Of Contact. This helps to explain why such a big guy — his nickname was "The Bull" — had only average power numbers.

This swing reminds me of the swings that I see in some of my 7th graders. These are big kids why have great upper body strength and never had to learn how to swing with their entire bodies.
