Ruth hasn't launched yet hence their is minimal ground reaction force created hence no straightening of the front leg. You want to land with a "soft front leg" which then straightens after launch.Then explain Ruth.... he's reacting to the force on the front foot but he's not extending his leg so it's not a reaction? Likewise, when I walk, I'm not actively extending my legs, they're just reacting to the force created by the prior step.... the foot striking the ground naturally causes the leg to straighten? Certainly you don't mean that?
On the other hand, here is a hitter (with a lousy instructor) who actively straightens her front leg as she moves out:
Walking and swinging are not the same thing.
