I guess the girl is showing a lack of TTB because she is getting the hands ahead of rotation, not setting up a deep axis for the hands.

Apologies for the “me too” post - but since I’m usually left wondering what exactly I’m supposed to be seeing on many of these gifs, I’m hoping FFS will post a follow-up if the above assumption is incorrect.

Shawn,

What’s your definition of TTB? Together with a post you made after the one above, it sounds like your equating TTB with some form of the SNF (Stretch [snap?]-n-Fire) drill, which is what I usually see suggested when discussing how to remove “slop” from a swing.

Thanks,

Gags

Gags,

Even with TTB, it still takes place in a sequence. That sequence can have slop.

The girl can be said to have "dead hands" ... albeit that may be a bit of a misnomer. She is simply using her body's rotation to move the barrel ... there is no additional independent action taking place to work/orbit/turn/arc the barrel.
