"lacks any oblique contraction and forces lateral tilt"
This is where having an expert eye makes a difference, no doubt. How is this happening without is obliques being engaged, or better yet if he continued with this motion how does his obliques not get contracted? Whats the difference between lateral tilt being forced vs unforced?
Looks to me that his obliques are engaged for a moment, but of course he's not taking or checking a swing, he's just demoing, so they become disengaged..

IMO one continues to pull back using the back with a fused torso until the rear leg wins the TOW. While the other moves into a leveraged fyb position and in doing so the obliques are fully stretched and then contracted at go.
IOW's one focuses on the back while the other the obliques amongst the other supporting muscles.
Most view this as a hands to the ball push while some see it as the obliques being contracted which pulls on the hands. btw, I am sure it can be done both ways

The hip joints create movement, but the pelvis itself and the lower back is limited to actual range of motion.
Where is most the movement taking place? Between the two horizontal lines on his mid back or even higher. So are we looking for hip rotation or shoulder rotation? Which one has the greater range of motion?

We apparently have one person that sees this as a 'spring' between the front shoulder and rear hip.
It's obviously above your pay grade.

In other words, you fabricated something silly and can't explain yourself.
