This is not meant to imply the bat is static (or stalled) at that position. It is merely a point of reference. As the video below show, with high level mechanics, the bat is accelerating through the lag position.

Hey Jack,

Thanks for posting. I wanted to see if the hands are ever behind the rear elbow in the swing or near the lag position.

Thanks
