Is this "pushing"
I understand the similarities to throwing, but try to throw something without your elbow leading your hand. That would be push.
The front arm pulls, the back arm must push out does it not? With force.
And i must add, most youth will Throw the bat at the ball. Very strong swing, sometimes they can even hit the ball.
Unfortunately, the elbow leading the hands is call bat drag (in most circles))
This image would be the proper way to throw the bat,

UNless, you just throw with your body, and your arms and hands are doing something else, and then no bat drag
Hing angle and bat lag are way over rated. Moe Norman, one of the best ball strikers in golf, casts his club head to the ball from the top of his swing.
"to generate more barrel speed during the initial pulling phase so that their ‘push’ into impact is replaced with more of a ‘release"
I like pull, throw, release.
Ok, do the muscles in the hand and forearms fire? then release? does grip pressure change throughout the swing? Some golfers (Couples and VJ) actually have their right hand barely holding or touching the grip at impact.
BTW, the golf swing is a arm-bar cast type swing. And they do have some amount of club drag where the elbow is in front of the hands. Different golfers cast at different times. Some from the top. Some hold and then release. Both can be successful. And a lot of it has to do with their grip pressure.
So another question for FFS. Would you best describe the softball swing as releasing from the top or hold off (lag) the releasing?
