Similar to the observation of one of TM's students ...

To me it seems like she should be "wrapping the barrel" to get more of a unwinding a spring or corkscrew motion referring to your merry go round analogy. So the hands should be kept away from the body as she swings?

My Lord talk about exaggerating your swing. It does look like they are trying to swing straight up.
The hands shouldn't collapse into the body. The hands should remain back and TTB immediately.
As already mentioned she over does the front shoulder coming down and in and hiding the hands. To much back arm action and pointing the barrel to far forward. There should be a shortening of the spring (front shoulder down and in toward the back hip) and hiding the hands (back shoulder away from front hip, lengthening action). There is a spring action, just not like your thinking.

Are you suggesting that there is a "spring" between the front-shoulder and rear-hip? If so, please explain how you exploit this "spring action".
You cut my words short. keep reading.
And hiding the hands, lengthening. There is compressing the front shoulder to back hip AND lengthening the front hip to back shoulder.
Agreed. This is oblique contractions as I understand it. Reminds me of this.

Aka X stretch. Or X factor stretch.
The oblique muscles run diagonally.

Very interesting stuff there. Cabrera destroying that apple was cool. So does the torque generated from initial hip rotation followed by proper positioning of the hands create the bat speed? My daughter is very analytical....do you think a tool that measures bat speed would be helpful for her to see the effects on different motions in swings on bat speed? This question is for all of you.
