Specific drills for lowering hands

Top question: Yes. What you are describing as a perpendicular/orthogonal force component on the barrel is a fairly sudden and abrupt force.

Bottom question: Let's imagine Bonds' swing ... something we've all seen often enough. When Bonds tips his barrel, he also lowers his hands .... and when Bonds untips his barrel, he raises his hands. Extensor action will occur during the untip (raising of the hands). Watch the barrel and you will see the transition.

Okay. Good to know that I finally understand the concept.

Where does "extensor action" happen with Mig? I'm not seeing pre-launch 'along' forces happening.

Can you show me where "extensor action" is happening?

Watch the top hand move upward prior to his 'swing launch'.

Not seeing it. I'm seeing a change from perpendicular to perpendicular in a different direction.

See above answer. I can cut this up later if it isn't obvious ... But it will have to be much later. Only have time for short answers for a few days.

I can understand that. It helps if you've felt it. Sort of like an under-the-hood type action.

I would be interested in digging into this more later.

When I try it, I get external rotation in the rear shoulder socket. Is this what I want to feel?

I have to guess that you are tipping and then uptipping. Have you changed your swing?

Are the cardinal grameters synchronized? And will that reduce the soinosoidal repleneration?

OK, I'm out of here, back to the pitching forums for this dummy.
