I disagree that the only way to look at this is to turn the barrel sooner. What I see is still some "loading" of the upperbody, stopping, and then swing (restarting). So the swing isn't a continues action, a true changing the direction of the knob.
What we want is a change of direction, The so called loading action to be always pulling back, fly fishing, and then a reversal of the knob.
On a side note Jack Mankin was the first to say the body would support the goal of the upperbody (THT or arcing the barrel rearward first). He said the body would attain the goal of the upperbody.
I look at it a little different. but would agree that you have to look at the goal which is transfer energy into the bat.
The hands should feel like their moving back or the scap is being pinched and then the lower body starts and yanks the hands forward. The hands themselves don't have to move to create the feeling. This should create a sling shot effect, torsion in the spring.
