The ‘mouse’, in the ‘mouse test’, refers to a ‘computer mouse’ which can be moved to hover a ‘cursor’ over the knob of the bat at the 'launch position'. In the GIF below a vertical blue line is drawn at this point. One then reviews the swing to observe the arcing of the barrel tip relative to the ‘mouse’, or in this case relative to the ‘blue vertical line’. The swing is said to pass the mouse test if the barrel is arc’d/orbited/turned/worked behind the ‘mouse’ (… vertical blue line). The swing below passes the 'mouse test'.

I specifically mean the initial axis of barrel rotation.

Does anyone else see a GIF with this ^^^ post? I don't. Not sure if it's just me.
I get the description, though. I'm pretty sure my DD would fail this test.
Just a quick guess? Are you speaking of the 'short to portion' of the swing?
Nvm just saw the post...

One would need to work/orbit/arc/turn the barrel towards an upright-vee orientation in the rear arm.
Or direct the knob...

One could direct the knob via a wide arc ... not what I'm after.
Think in terms of "short hands" ... one is attempting to work/turn/arc/orbit the barrel without the hands moving forward beyond that caused by the pull of the lead lat.
