Please post that quote from Mankin about this swing/gif:
Of course they do. Where should the hands be moving first ......forward.....
I don't think so.
Rdbass, Mankin has said this many, many times. In his video he instructs the hands moving toward the plate with his pathfinder. He does the opposite with his path finder of the hands moving forward first with no arcing of the pathfinder. He then instructs that the hands/bat must move toward the camera (side view) as the first move and then instructs the kids in the video to do the same (first moving the hands forward and then towards the plate/camera). The move toward the plate results in the barrel arcing.
If you took the Bonds clip you can see this happen. The hands actually move toward the plate first and then arc around. I thought this might have something to do with swinging out from the body.
