When we say, "forward yet back" (which I wholeheartedly agree with)...what is it that's "back", and what is that "back" in reference to wrt the body, plate, batter's box, or whatever?
I know what I believe it to be, but I also believe that that's the reason I use "one-legged" over (vs.) "two-legged". I'll just leave it at that for now, so as not to influence any of the responses to the question.
Thanks,

IMO a powerful setup for a "well timed" and "powerful swing" is to "forward-by-coil" ... or to "go forward, yet back". A forward movement while the rear leg is still loading ... "forward, yet back".
Jim Dixon attempted to describe "forward, yet back", or "forward-by-coiling" as ... "The hips go forward, but the shoulders stay back".
Keep in mind that Dixon specified that "The back leg must be in a rigid – supporting mode" and that "the legs are braces for the torso to work on".
