At least we agree here, which is why I was questioning TDS statement that the legs leverage against the core,when it's the core using the legs as leveragethe core is leveraging and rotating against the hips/legs. The legs opening is eyewash. It’s a misconception. The lower tries to stay closed. Mobility levels will open it more on some, not so much on others.
how far do the legs ‘rotate’ relative to the pelvis? Not as much right? The back leg barely gets back to neutral, the front leg sometimes doesn’t get there until after contact. If we were trying to rotate the legs towards the pitcher and open each piece of the chain upwards, this would look different right? Wouldn’t we rotate farther then these gifs?
the core stretch back against the pelvis and legs going forward is how the core leverages the legs. rotation is against the hips. Since the pelvis is 1 bone, the back leg anchor holds the hips back creating a tighter turn than just rotating from the legs/ hips up in sequence.
