That's the beauty of this! Keep resisting until launch......No muscling required. The swing is instant, it's a snap......

3:24 is important. The way I teach this is that I want the initial arcing of the barrel to be 'tight' and not 'wide'/'loose'.

It's comical that people see this clip as releasing into both legs. He pulls back against the rear leg as soon as there is forward motion. The continual pullback as he lands during 750 allows him to snap the hands when he needs to.

As it’s going forward the upper is resisting, creating a rag-wring effect in the rear hip socket. Rear leg fighting to turn clockwise, hips/back resisting/turning counterclockwise (description for a lefty)....
On Bonds in this at bat....I believe it is 'blocking/catching' the forward momentum. The front leg can move independently when needed.
