Rear hip is pushing the hands/arm/barrel/bat. Hands/arms/barrel/bat is rotating/pushing towards the ball. I want the rear hip to pull the hands/arm barrel/bat.

Ok I get that part , but how are you pulling the hip vs pushing the hip. What roll is the leg playing in this?

Hope you can see better what I mean:

Watch the rear leg. Use the rear leg as the driver of the swing. Look at the buttons of the shirt. The hips resist rearward. When it is 'released' it pulls the resisting hips and the 'turning barrel' forward towards the ball.

Not what i am after. I have tryed the one legged like above, and its very uncontrolled. i would say this swing is in the REAR plane, not sagital

Can you explain in bold? Hips resist what rearward? Resist moving forward?

See if this helps.

Hips 'resist' from turning forward as the rear leg IR.
That is the separation of lower from upper.

Ok so you are talking about the rear leg resisting or are you talking about hips resisting by rearward coil? Is that what you mean in bold?

Hips resisting turning forward as the leg IR (internally rotates) forward. Hips continue to coil rearward along with hands/arms as the rear leg/thigh area is turning/rotating internally.

Belt above is hips resisting and hands/arms 'pulling' back and around continuing to load. Below belt is rear leg IR.

As soon as he releases that front side scrunch, and rear side stretch, the hips go.

When doing the SNF 45 drill, the pulling back and sitting into the rear hip, will actually pull the front heal off the ground, which i think represents very well the correct feeling that we look for.
This tall girl is just 13, first time lesson, ended up liking to hit like this, for much of the season, out of SNF.

Cannot wait for her to come on this year.
