Hope you see the differences?
To tell you the truth, not really. I don't see a whole lot of hip/shoulder separation in the bottom kid either, and the bug under his foot is just as dead, which is why "bug squishing" is the wrong thing to pick on.

I answered with a gif and an explaination.I realize the point of showing that young man was for the hands portion of the swing but can we talk about his back foot? It looks like a squash the bug which was pointed out as something for JJ's younger daughter to work on. What does a good pivot look like?[
I don't 'pick' on 'bug squish' unless it needs to be addressed or 'picked on'.which is why "bug squishing" is the wrong thing to pick on.

Bingo!!! Negative load toward the pitcher/positive load @ GO.
#2 is where the meat and potatoes are. Even though the positive barrel load from that exaggerated tip is BIG, this hitter DOES NOT sit back and just "turn the barrel". His hands are getting the handle to the RELEASE point WHILE the barrel is being loaded. Therefore he is still able to get to the INSIDE seam of the ball with some semblance of a hinge angle.
This is the 2 competing priorities of the hands. And it creates quick, educated hands.
Howe & fastpitch26, are you using hand load and barrel load interchangeably?
Mentally extend that thumb up 33 inches and imagine how far the barrel accelerated as the hand turn to flat.

This is a hitter. He understands the importance of getting the barrel to the ball. That requires a plan. A plan requires DIRECTION. Loading the barrel is INCORPORATED into the DIRECTION.
This is the clip that Fatboy say's I'm claiming:
When I distinctly said:
So why would Fatboy purposely use the wrong clip? And then why would he claim I'm doctoring clips?
