What is meant here

[Stockton Slapper]

Hips get turned, they dont turn. I see the hips turning. If not then whats turning the hips. The rear leg? If so how are we teaching to initiate the rear leg?

What is loading in the unload. What part of the body is loading? Are we loading or preparing the upper body as we move out? Please explain loading in the unload.

I think if i can grasp these things I can have a better understanding of the swing.

Do you think that there is one certain swing that makes it a High Level swing. I am beginning to think thats the same as chasing unicorns!~!

Thank you

no expert here but while your moving out you load your hands/barrel = running start.

IMO, this is a decent example of "loading into the unload" in a swing...

The hands are "loading" (pulling up and back) into the rear hip "unload" (turning forward). This movement in opposite directions increases the resistance/stretch/tension between the lower half and upper half, setting up a more explosive launch.
