Pujols passing through an 'up-right vee' at two different pitch heights ....

The geometric shape of a 'Vee' is mechanically strong/stable and provides control of a barrel that is in the process of arcing.
A geometric shape of an 'L' isn't nearly as strong/stable ... and makes it more challenging to control the barrel. I refer to this as passing through a "Lazy-L". A few examples follow.

The path taken to contact is truly important.
p.s.
I don't personally teach a "power triangle at contact".

I know exactly what you mean but from the illustration of the V you're referring to I've seen it taught just like it is....Arm slot. And it is a very weak swing when a kid, parent, or coach work on just that. They don't work on what you call torso-engine. I know, not your problem but if a parent is following along and reads this they're thinking 'I gotta work on my slot' or V.

If hitters aren't working on their 'hand path' then they will under achieve relative to what they are capable of.
One of Barry Bond's top swing cues was strongly related to his 'hand path' .... and for a good reason.
