Now will you not sidestep and show your proof. <<<

Hi Ray

It appears we now agree that the pulling rearward of the top-hand aids in accelerating the bat-head rearward into the swing plane. If you also agree that the direction of that pull can alter the trajectories of the bat, what is it you need proof of?

You stated, “I accept what is stated, BUT, not “ONLY.” -- It appears you are saying that in addition to the pendulum (or flailing) effect of the CHP and torque applied at the handle, there are other forces acting on the bat that produces bat speed. If that is what you are saying, please define them.
