Which only works off a tee where the ball is in a predetermined location....adjustment from an early bat speed swing will make it much easier to hit a moving ball...
Nonsense. It happens in every MLB swing. Ted Williams and Barry Bonds, and Babe Ruth did it best.
The knob goes out and then around, and that simple, small change of direction causes acceleration of the barrel, and it occurs early, without the need for early wrist action. Ted said he used the wrists, but he also said it was a late snap.
The fact that his hands do not go in a straight line, produces tangential acceleration of the barrel, simply by the fact that the hands are moving, and not moving in a straight line. He adds force to this momentum with his wrists, to throw the barrel, after the knob is about at the 4th small circle. Another thing that he said he did.
