What Len posted is what research has proven in the lab by Don Slaught at UCLA. Video proved it along with bat speed checked in the lab. It improved bat speed around 5%.

Nice extensive research.... Now they all just need to get the little finger under the knob... JMHO
Get those knuckles from staggered at stance to alignment at contact.
How does this happen? Do you feel the hands move/slide on the handle, or is it a case of the right hand applying a little clockwise pressure (while the left hand pressures counterclockwise) during the swing? Like wringing out a towel during the swing?
I don't quite understand this post. There wasn't anything extensive about it. I knew it. I guess the pics don't fit into your "Perfect" little hitting world? It's all good PC, I ain't mad........
You want some extra bat "whip" through the zone?? Get those knuckles from staggered at stance to alignment at contact.
Have the grip way out in the finger tips – not in the palm, align door knocking knuckles, some batting gloves have stripes on knuckles to help line up the knuckles.
Door knocking knuckles lined up = better bat control - helps a quick release of the bat head and extension.
Arms are in an upside down V as elbows resting on a dinner table, make a bicep for where the hands are to go at the starting point.
Thanks, Peppers. This instruction is common, and it's what is being advised for my daughter. So I certainly understand it's a widely held notion, and I'm not saying it's wrong. But seems to me that if you're trying to throw the barrel, then the ''door knocking knuckles lined up'' grip (and the position of the forearms if the back elbow doesn't point backward during the load) restricts this effort.
I'm pretty sure that this guy is not heeding Alabama's advice on this issue:
