Do you see that here. Throw the head. Staying closed and using your top hand gives you the energy transfer needed. No mea culpa.
So Albert says to stay closed, but then proceeds to open up when he swings the bat. Unless he means that as a mental cue to not open up "early".
I personally see it as he is not staying closed and dragging the knob across even though he may be thinking mentally as knob to the ball.
Most of the coaches from that era in my area preached hands. "Hands to the ball", "keep your hands back", and "hands are the trigger" were all common cues. Instruction was not as detailed as it is today and we did not use slow motion video or the other gadgets that are available today. The majority of the training was about timing and using the hands.The premise is correct, everything sets up the hands. You are coiled and stretched and ready to swing. The hands command the body as it is ready to burst because the body is ready for the hands.

Video for both learning and teaching IMO is a game changer. A player makes an adjustment and says , I don’t know what I did but it felt different. With video you can capture and see that moment in time. The learning process takes place on a different level. I video every lesson I do that and break it down with the student while in the lesson, so she can continue to adjust and apply things. Nothing unique but the ability to do that is…video capture 30 years ago when my kids were playing sports was unheard of.Most of the coaches from that era in my area preached hands.
