I should have mentioned Jeter started to uncock early and then hold the wrists/hands. It happens earlier then the Giles swing.
He isn't creating any early batspeed that is efficiently transferred into the swing. He might as well have one of those batspeed training parachutes attached to the end of the barrel.
Exactly my point. IMO both have a unique way of creating a running start. Then use a hinge angle that is different then 90 degrees (more open angle).

I'm with [MENTION=9236]FP26[/MENTION] I think what is making this (not Jeter but your example) look unorthodox is the early turn and hold...as I mentioned it looks like a hitch even though the swings stays moving because the hands stop doing anything and looks like everything is held in position until he releases. [MENTION=828]Shawn[/MENTION] do you have something besides a GIF might be interesting to see if on frame by frame I could compare to other model swings.
