Re: take weight shift out of the equation

I'm curious about your 'why.'

I can't get as powerful a swing when launching from the experiment position alone. I'd have to surmise that either rotation begins before heel plant or that the weight shift 'rolls-over' into rotation, transitioning through the heel plant in a way that cannot be attained by mere explosive muscular exertion as in the experiment.

"Glide", "swoosh", "swoop", "Gravity is energy" type of descriptors come to mind.

So, what is the evident why?

Thanks.
