W=w, nothing personal, but I think you're too hung up on terminology, and their origin, more so than the actual concepts.Lol. The muscles groups used with HI use half the body and create false forces in the swing imo. Such as HIp coil and turn the barrel. His 2 main engines are used incorrectly.
I want the core in charge of the first engine not the back leg. I want the hands to whip the barrel not turn behind me. That’s it in a nutshell.
As long as you're getting your hitter(s) to get the barrel into the zone from behind or early...whether you tell them that that's a "whip" or a "turn" of the barrel is inconsequential...IMO.
Likewise, whether you say "back leg" as in femur or femoral head", or "core/torso" which includes the rear hip (femoral head being part of it) as defined by FFS/Dixon that seems to be accepted by the "core" group...they're really both the same thing.
Realistically, the "core" can't be "in charge" of the launch w/o the rear leg planted firmly in/against the ground. If it's not, you get this....
....and not a way to swing a bat effectively.
