Bottom hand torque vs. top hand release

Posted by: Major Dan (markj89@charter.net) on Thu Feb 8 08:20:36 2001

I am confused. Bottom hand torque has the lead arm pulling back toward the catcher and against the 'stationary' (but turning with the body) top hand.
Top hand release allows the bottom hand/arm to pull forward and extend the arc of the swing.
Are these two theories advocating opposite directions of movement for the bottom hand at/after contact?
Or am I getting confused by terminology that sounds different but is the same in reality?
