Yes. His torso-engine is messed up. Fix that and he'd have a great shot of duplicating what TM was attempting to have him do.
Missing his BACK...
What is the difference then in saying that the hands come into connection and ride that connection for a brief period of time?
Used that drill with a kid last night with the notion of introducing 'short hands'.
Teacherman: “When I am in my command drill, right here, I’ve already got this laser on this ball … and I just turn.”
Basically, before he swings, he's identified 'direction'. His swing takes place with 'direction' in mind.
Between the 3-sec to 9-sec mark Teacherman reviews a movement prior to his swing ... an alignment type move. From this it appears that he advocates that there is a move prior to his swing that aligns his swing with 'direction'.

That's what I gathered from this as well. Direction needs to be determined early in the process. IMO the term "launch" muddies the waters. "Before launch", "After launch"... Ignoring the term launch, direction must occur before the barrel achieves significant acceleration. Once it is accelerating, all that is left is adjustments...
Great video to show how difficult the process can be and too many want to quit when it doesn't come easy. Then, of course they have to come up with something different or "easier" to rebuke Rich's info.
