I respectfully disagree on the ''rear foot getting unweighted'' and all the weight shifting to the front side. I'm more of the weight shifting to/towards the middle during the swing. Again JMHO.
Hmmm...help me understand where you're coming from on this. I think we are actually in agreement.
As I see it, there is a significant difference between a weight shift against the front side vs. a weight shift over the front side. Pujols is the first one. Clemente is the second one. Both have a weight shift to the front side which creates a complete unweighting of the rear foot. Pujols' COM stays in the middle, but his movements cause his COG to shift from rear foot to front foot (I think I'm using the those terms correctly, but maybe not). Clemente's COM and COG shift over the front foot.
EDIT: Pattar has shown that I don't understand COM and COG very well - LOL (see below)
