You know Jack, I've wrestled with this some.
MY definition of torque is;"two forces working in opposite directions, working on the same object."
In my opinion, it's very clear/evident, that torque exists when we're observing seperation between the upper and lower halves of the body.
I am NOT saying that your theory of top hand torque does not exist.
I am not qualified to prove or, disaprove, the existance of something in my mind ,to be abstract.
Basically, I don't see how MY definition of torque, is ocurring with the hands.
But, man to man Jack, lets say that I realize the existance of hand torque,please tell me how it would help me better instruct a nine year old boy regarding swing mechanics?
Best wishes.

John.
