easier to see what you can feel

Yes, it is...

rear hip remains IR'd. no held ER/squat

sadlowski with some held ER, not as much as snead.

The IR only is good for the high level swing to enable spatially early bat speed,equivalent to halfway down into the downswing in golf, therefore not a stall problem as encountered for IR only in golf.

lots of held ER/squat in Snead which set him up for lead arm pull/late club speed/shift and swing:

The IR/IR/IR demonstrated in that video and in bb/fp swings (like below right) is completely void of rear hip flexion - which is one of the main ingredients you see all of the best use.

As was stated in this video - early IR locks up the rear side and stalls the front side...

UMMM YEAH!

And for those of you not following the rear hip flexion thing. Stare at the Pro's #55 @ his left hip.

No IR lockup here.. Both legs supporting the swing.
