I think the better question is; Is the beginning of the gif "the start" or is Frame 3 "the start"?

Some folks on here have claimed the swing starts much sooner than frame 1.
Frame three you can see the heel is down before the bat starts forawrd.

How much more barrel turn are you expecting at this point in the swing?

I can live with that. IMO he is loading in the first three frames. Still part of the swing but the turning of the barrel won't become very evident until after that......
I think there is such a thing as good bat lag (not the lag position). And for bat lag to be created, it means there is little turning at the start (some turning is ok).

Beginning... in reference to the gif posted . But I think it starts before that .
Start of when/what point in time....
Also where was the pitch...inside, outside, or down the middle. Pitched ball has a lot to do with, when a hitter 'starts' the turning of the barrel.
Also this looks like a batting practice swing to me.
Yes for an outside pitch the pivot happens deeper and there is more turning rearward. Agree the pitch location makes a difference.
