Stand up, grab a bat, and try to duplicate this barrel path/depth using two moves or turning forward.......I think you're going to be in for a long day...

I hope we are on the same page. I don't like the 'term' Carve & filet. Like I stated it's 2 moves. I like one move.
I skimmed the Carve/filet thread. I do agree with a 'corner' and have suggested to the poster by the 'hated' PM that his DD needs a corner from which to 'launch' her swing. As it is now her 'whoosh' is beside her inside of from behind a corner.
Plus Carve & filet is an older term I've moved onto Direct, load & launch ect...

Yes sir. One move, snap, from behind a corner........I fought the term rearward for years, it seems illogical to turn it rearward. Sync up that rearward barrel turn with your RHPP, and the barrel snaps to the ball with depth...

I will occasional use 'turn the barrel forward towards the ball' because for a time if you used the word 'rearward' this gif would be posted:
With the phrase 'bop the catcher on the head'.
Never did get the corner term??? Maybe if I knew when t turn on the blinkers ??? 
I think RDB is suggesting that 2 moves is not correct. As I understand it, we're looking for one move - turn the barrel to the ball.
Thanks Eric,
I said, I don't like Carve & filet it's 2 moves.
I like turtles too...............
I agree. But I am not sure carve/filet is really 2 moves. Unless my understanding of those terms is different than RDB's.
rdbass - my post was meant as a question as to why you think carve/filet is 2 moves. I then deleted it because i didn't want to derail this thread any further.

There's a problem with this thread it is a 'spin off' from another thread I believe also started by pstein. So, I'm getting bits and pieces. Also the thread is from 2012. BM may have meant/means what I agree with today:
I take from the thread that 1 move was 'carving' a path down. Then Flattening/filet rising through contact. The 2nd move. Maybe it's my 'hang up' with the word THEN. That's how it is in 2016 the word THEN means 'this then that'. 2 moves. And means 1 move. BM probably meant Turn the barrel rearward towards the ball but, alot going on through the thread with different parts of the swing. Again 2012 and 2016, that's why it's hard to go back to the older threads and ask me to 'reconcile'.
