> According the Jack, the front arm may be fully extended at contct; nevertheless, the back arm will from a right angle.

> On pitches away, the barred lead arm will cast out more, but the back arm will be 15-20 degrees away from full extension.
>
> Therefore, in a good baseball swing it is possible for the lead arm to reach full extension on inside and outside pitches.
>
> The back arm, on the other hand, never reaches full extension, even on pitches away.
