Nick-

Thanks for the clip.This would be THT at launch,when the tightly connected torso starts to turn the bat,except maybe first Bond's frame where there is still a hint of independent arm action/finishing tight connection.At this point(launch)bat is on plane,tophand holds position relative to back shoulder and degree of flex in top arm stays constant for a few frames.

Just as improtant is the "prelaunch" THT for a few frames before this beginning just after scap load and accelerating through drop and tilt.

Can you start the clips a little earlier as in the Bonds01 clip ?
