Does a stride like this create a greater stretch? Compared to a no stride is there greater stretching happening within his style?
Note, look how long the hip remains coiled.
The load is....in a high level swing....STRETCH. It IS NOT simply moving one way, and reaching the range of motion limit, so that you have more range of motion to unload/push it forward. A load does not occur until slack is removed and YOU CONTINUE TO PULL BACK and create a stretch WITHOUT MOVEMENT. A load occurs when you've reached range of motion limit and continue to pull rearward. The load is a stretch between two body parts. One part is moving one direction, the other part is moving in the opposite direction. In the high level swing the load consists of the hip coil, the lower back pull back, and the scap pull back....all pulling rearward....across the rear hip socket....against a rear leg that is internally rotating
Where do you think the 'stretch' is happening or what do you think is being 'stretched'?
Pick a color. I'm thinking you'd pick yellow.
Added:
Rd ... neither the 'red' or 'yellow' lines are correct.

It may help some hitters to create stretch, but it isn't necessary. Some hitters can create the right stretch without any type of stride at all.
