What do you see here? Lower back action? Or do you see hip rotation? Or do you see front leg external rotation?

Yes - IMO the rear hip/leg get sucked into each other (coil) as the lower back twists back (resisting) and the moment the lower back resistance is gone the hips just explode. At about the same time the rear scap should get clamped down.....the back hip is not a power producing in the sense that it drives the swing....the rear hip leads and provides a corner (HI term) for the barrel to get pulled around....
BUT, you can short circuit this by not learning how to stay behind the rear leg. Meaning you can miss clamping the scap down if you don't learn how to launch rearward....there is lot of pull going on and more you can resist by launching rearward (turning the triangle) the more you can get behind the rear leg and the more explosive the swing....
This is too rushed....
I short circuited the swing by not launching rearward - I allowed my hips to pull my hands through too soon...my hands start down too soon....I did not allow my scap to get clamped down....no corner...
It has become increasingly clear to me that elite hitters use their lower back in a way that has people seeing hip coiling and hip rotation as the key driver in a swing.
Meaning that you can mimic positions using the hips, but in reality the elite players are using their lower back to initiate movement.
If you are willing to swing the bat with an open mind and can self analyze without prejudice you will inevitably find that once you learn how to twist the lower back - your hips and rear leg have absolutely no choice but to provide resistance. It is the IR of the rear leg and rear hip joint that provides this resistance against the lower back pull back....
I will be providing clips to support my position on this - but I encourage anyone who is experimenting with the SnF, rear leg swings, etc to try initiating movement with the lower back...
Most would see this as hip action....but IMO the lower back is what creates this movement...

It's increasingly clear, that you have no knowledge whatsoever, as to how the body moves.
It is true that muscles in the lower back get activated, but your statement above is full of errors.
Which muscle of the many in the lower back, are you referring to, and how do they work in a swing?
