What would be the major difference between the barrel action in an AJ check and the check's by Howard and Yelich since I assume you think their patterns differ? Or do Howard/Yelich more align with TM's pattern in your opinion?

What check of Howard are you referring to ?

There’s some torque indirectly due to sequence P. Not active handle torque. But from keeping the barrel ‘up’.
To me the only way you could get the barrel to move like due to sequence alone is if your wrists were extremely loose.

Not sure I follow. So you are saying AJ's check would look like TM's demo there? Seriously, not picking up what you are putting down with this response and how it answers my question(s). How about the barrel action in the two clips (forget about TM for a second will ya :LOL: ) No (active) handle torque necessary to give that barrel action? Zero? Nada? Zilch?

South Cali
the combo of the top hand not supinating (barrel up) and the bottom hand pulling just a bit with the core... torque. Look at Howard’s top hand remain basically motionless while his arm body do all the leveraging beforehand and then blur blah blah etc. sequence.
