If You are pushing how does one ever overcome lag ?I don't see anything pulling in the demo but I am not going to argue about it
To me the question comes down to how quickly the hitter is torquing the handle. If we must first move the bat to a different location and then torque it, we are losing valuable time. Time a hitter cannot afford because of how small the window is already.

Add in the obliques amongst other available resources that make rotation a result will make the whipping movement look similar.. Arod is doing all he can to avoid supinating the rear forearm while whipping the barrel down.
Regardless - I agree with Antonelli that if you showed a kid Arod on the right and said "do this" - which is what thousands of coaches and parents are likely doing this week - it will not work out well.
Didnt watch the video. Saw the red arrows. Correct. Elbow down barrel on plane. It’s not forced but it keeps the barrel up to be short in the vertical plane. Stay on top. Get the body to leverage these actions. Result: baseball swing

Cast the bat, rotate the shoulders or pull off the ball comes to mind.

I just wanted to throw my crazy drawing into the mix on how I understand it, after following this thread for a while now LOL. I'm of the opinion that AROD is not too far off. His Demo is misleading. But I think there is something to be gained there. The coiled energy of the body when a player loads etc. is released it is turning on 3 different planes. I starts in downward tilted plane, transitions into a linear plane, then a upward plane. All with tilt. I'm not real technical so bear with me. If take your hands in a straight path as AROD demoed as the body is turning, it will cause TTB naturally. The hands will move naturally in a path like his game swing. Simply because of Rotational forces. like some say A merry go round.
