Just like adding gasoline to any fire.... mention "TTB" and "Push"... and of course the dynamite would be "TM"

Very true. I wont go any farther with it. Because I don't want to take the thread that's not mint into any wrong directions.

GB has the barrel pre turned to some degree. What I notice is his hands move away from core, then pulled in, and then thrown off the tilt a whirl. I doubt that he knew he was doing this. The bat kinda saws his deltoid. Is there any rotational speed gained by pulling in of his hands? Think figure skaters.

Just trying to help folks avoid dead end roads. I have used many of these ideas in the past, and they didn't work out.
Just because they didn't work for YOU doesn't mean they won't work for everybody. You are a knowledgeable guy and I like your posts for the most part but what works for some isn't going to necessarily work for everybody. That said the "bat drag cure recipe" you give is probably a decent place to start for most.

GB, allows his hands to get sucked into the pivot point which allows for the bodys momentum to be transferred out to the barrel. Definitely not forcing any ttb supination.

There is to many variables per player to have only one way of accomplishing the end goal. More than one way to skin a cat as they say.

Right. That said the neck slot start isn't going to help if the bat drag is primarily cause by the lower half not doing what it is supposed to.

I agree neck slot will not help IF the lower half is the culprit. It seems that it the case some of the time, but I feel that a lot of the time its not understanding how the top half works in relation to the bottom half
