The scap retract tips the barrel. The hands pull forward. That’s torque the handle. Aka loads the barrel.

Has anyone asked Skeletor if he's turning the barrel?

My background is in golf and the top hand (in golf it's the bottom hand) plays a significant role in squaring up the club face. I get the same feeling when I swing a bat.

What's interesting about DiCarlo is that most of her home runs are to right center.

JD Martinez as well, I see a lot of similarities in their barrel path. I'd imagine they are both focusing on staying inside and through the ball

Julray, I see them both staying inside the ball but the barrel path isn't the same.. JD's barrel path is flat and appears to be his focus, while DiCarlo's path is vertical.
