I want to know what the sensors taped to his body read. Which fired first the glute or the obliques? I don't think it matters much and would believe it would be almost simultaneously but still interested in results.

FWIW... I asked my dd what she feels. She said both simultaneously. She has a better swing than mine so...

Maybe i am doing it wrong, but i have never really felt the glute activating. When does that happen? Is it part of the core that is activated and i always just assumed obliques?
Glute activation.. during the load. Glute firing.. toe touch. Posture matters. You can easily come out of your posterior(glute) load and deactivate them.
Hip flexion IS posture. The whole point of posture is to have hip flexion. I'll just use ambiguous and non-specific terms like posture from now on. Also, It's not reactive. You need to have it(or get it in the stride/moving out). Hip flexion = crouch or hip joint more like this < .
Hip extension is reactive and a non-teach. I've never said try to do it harder or faster or get more. It is a good thing to look at though. I think its the best indicator of how good the sequence is (because it is what the sequence is all about).
And yes, I swing the bat. I'll post some shirtless videos too if you want

you have it backwards. Posture IS or creates good or bad hip flexion. You can create hip flexion the wrong way. That’s why it’s called posture not hip flexion.
hip flexion is not the sequence. It, like the rest of the sequence matters. But it’s all one thing, it’s not this or that or another and you’re good. It all works together to create a good swing.
Gauging hip flexion/extension as the end all can be misleading. Directional issues and power production can still be a problem with great hip flexion/extension. Posture is a better description of what needs to take place imo. That’s the external cue.

I have no idea what hip flexion is in the swing. I looked up hip flexion and got this picture. Can you show me in the swing? Honest question.Hip flexion IS posture.

I think i see flexion in the first picture which is showing a bent posture and the legs are forward of the chest, but where is flexion in pic 2?
