The load is taught as a spiral from the rear leg up through the back by coiling rearward. The upper torso can stay back because of this way of loading. The hands are pulling back but not in the traditional way that involves the arms stretching. If a hitter used momentum and laterally shift through the pelvis from back to front, you would probably see a forward shift of the upper body and the knob of the barrel pushing forward. Depending on how much weight gets in to the front foot and amount of momentum generated.Manny comes to full stop at hesitation: Hip is already turned; in TM lingo, leg/hip have already snapped forward; lead foot is already down. Question: what keeps the upper torso back? Why has he not turned the barrel if TM's two engine model is high level? Where is the center of mass when he gets to hesitation? Where does the snap of swing come from now? I do not think it is over the rear leg when he launches.
Subtract the hesitation, you still get his game swing....Explain...
We often use a take drill to check load and sequence. To an HLP hitter, the load is the swing. A lot of different drills involve not swinging. That's the best I can say as to why he didn't TTB.
Balance is over the rear hip. We do a lot of one legged drills with the focus of staying over the rear hip.
