Yes I do. The back knee can ER. Non teach. Not a focus. But when the body advances forward the back knee must come forward with it. If it doesn’t you will lose some of your vertical load. Your sequence will leak. You are less likely to be FYB. Look at the back knee at foot down on the OP DD and compare that to the back knee at foot down on all these gifs. Belly button, front foot, back knee must advance during the FORWARD move. It doesn’t need to IR during the forward move. Just move forward getting the hitter to FORWARD yet back. If the back knee doesn’t not advance some the hitter is stuck back.

well that’s not whats on video. The back knee gets pulled by the COM. You don’t give up the ground. You don’t give up your glute load! Thats why you will see ER of the back knee. What you describe is ABAF.

The back knee shouldn’t move/rotate until the front is leveraged.
