Arching of the lower back happens naturally, after everything has fired. It would require an extreme lunge (which happens) not to arch lower back. It (arching) is more a result of a hard torso turn,more than a source of power. Going backward to create power forward (after load) is crazy talk, against basic physics. A non- teach. Go back and forward (load) is good , THEN back again pre contact is silly. Even if you guys could prove BB did that, would not make it correct. I stand by my statement, that BB could have hit the ball farther, had he not gone off the cliff, over the fall, fallen off the barstool, snapped down the mountain. I don't know , but my guess is that BB did not practice that move.
I disagree, arching the lower back is a power source for how the hips are brought into the swing as well as the torso. The arching of the lower back to start the sequence, starts the hips into extension/thrust. It's how the hips are brought into the swing as well as the torso.

Not speaking for RS, but I feel it is the same exact feeling/movement when you throw off foot similar to a hip airplane movement

Awe, the old "hip airplane movement".

Been there, done that....not at a a productive "over the falls" thing at all I can assure you.
Would it have been better if he had arched his back?
Arching the back here is a no teach. When the wave crushes him his back will naturally arch.

Like RH is saying below....
....his back is arching, and is going to in different directions a whole bunch of times shortly...and is probably going to arch way more than he really wants it to or is comfortable with.
