I think the lead elbow gets stabilized in the swing plane and applies torque opposing the top hand by "internal rotation" of the lead arm.This joint motion is necessary to get the bony point of the elbow pointing into the plane of the swing and not down to the ground."pronation" of the forearm won't do it.Tilt of the body won't do it unless it is extremely excessive,and even then there can't be tight connection.That elbow knob/bone has to point forward from launch to approach to contact.The lead arm has to internally rotate and stay there to do it.
