> Even though the pulling back of the top-hand is occurring during initiation, shoulder rotation is accelerating the hands (as a unit) around toward the pitcher. Therefore if the hands (as a unit) is rotating in one direction, it is hard to see, or understood by many, how the top-hand is applying a force at the handle in the opposite direction (rearward toward the catcher).>

Jack, how can you tell me at what point (or even better, at which frame) does Luis Gonzalez apply THT? Does he apply it the whole time? How exactly do you know? What parts of a person's swing do you see ands say, "Ahh! THT!"?

I am curious because I'm afraid I see no such force in Gonzalez.
