My recollection is that one of your absolutes has been that the shoulders don't stop rotating before contact, but I don't see that on the list. <<<

Hi Tom

Absolute #9 states “They will all have the lead-shoulder pulling back toward the catcher (un-shrugging the lead-shoulder) to the 105 degree position at contact. This is to generate BHT and the “Hook” in the hand-path to maximize bat speed.”

I have discussed the Absolutes in great detail in other links and posts. This link is just to give them as concise a definition as possible.
