Leg snap ?
Do you consider Albert's check swing to be rotation? I don't...
No.
@FP26 he didn’t hit the ball w the check swing. Prolly use a clip where they’re hitting the ball using their back hip.
I do like the back hip tilting via the back knee. But I don’t think that’s an initial turn of the back hip. The turn of the back hip is the obliques pulling up while the knee pulls down. The front knee does the same; pushes the hip back while the obliques pull it up moving them both
Into extension.
So you could see why I think ‘hit the ball w your back hip’ or ‘leg snap’ is rotation @FP26?

Just a different interpretation. Similar to how people see "swing down" through different lenses.
FYI... Leg snap is not my phrase. If others like that description that is their prerogative. Different people respond to different words.
The clip posted includes a check swing and a full swing. Remember the quote " wherever the hips go the hands follow". Same thing... in my opinion.
Every hitter has there own tempo/flow of movements... When looking at video pay attention to how the weight shifts/flows within the body. Some are easier to see than others but work on up front actions that allows for the flow to happen naturally when attempting to match video.
