barrel/hand pivot point, a.k.a TTB

[_MIA_]

.. Of course when reacting all available resources are used.

Except for the wrists/forearms at launch...Sorry couldn't help myself

That didn't really answer my question. If I'm contracting across the front of my body to pull the knob down, what muscles are being used - and when - to cause the rear hip to get thrust forward?

Eric, put yourself in this leveraged stretched position and tell us what you feel when swinging "down to".. I feel it all across the middle during the contraction.

Looks like someone else is trying to feel it.

I feel like I'm pulling/dragging the knob to start the swing, delaying how quickly the barrel starts turning to the ball, and taking away from the depth of the swing. It becomes much more "out front".

Eric, I think what you're missing with the core pattern is one needs to beat the pitcher to the position of leverage.. IOW's you can't ride the rear leg until you snap both engines. The swing depth becomes your advantage.

looks to me like he never loads the pelvis.

Yep swing on the left, false stride and then everything comes forward, swing on right, FYB with posture. Looks to me like the hands are doing the same exact thing

this is what I was getting at with Shawns thread yesterday. When I was badgering RH for a deeper analysis.
