Flattens like this guy demonstrates at 59 secs?

I believe this is something that can teach my daughter with more success... palm up palm down right away before the hands progress forward. I think that cue work work better than "turn the barrel", "oar lock", "swivel" etc.
This is not a good demonstration IMO, and for multiple reasons.
The 'pull' that he is speaking of not being present is a pull associated with folding the lead-arm and/or shoving the lead-arm forward. He is correct, that type of pull is not present.
There is a pull however that occurs during the lateral tilting portion of the swing ... and it is fairly intense ... intense enough to create blisters and calluses for those that swing a bat.
