Arm whip differeneces

[shaker1]

Any thoughts on different types of arm whip? Some brush, some whack, some lean and still get good whip. I'm no good with posting gifs, but looking through my collection, all lead with the elbow, some release that bend more than others. Will releasing the bend unlock potential speed, or is IR the same nomatter how one achieves it?

Not helping but the whackers drive DD and me nuts. Some of them have to be hurting after the game.

S1,
Can you say more about your question?

The arm never completely straightens, and I don't think it should be a focus. IR depends on some flexion. Without flexion, you lose whip. Even Waldrop, who had almost 90 degrees of flexion at 9 o'clock got about 150 degrees through release. I'd guess that 150-165 is average.
