>Hello Jack

I think a batter has some control of where the hinge angle is released.

I think it is partially controlled by weight shift and I believe you can move the unhinge out front even in rotational swings.

In golf , a great way to get off the back side is to make sure you take the hinge angle past your lead pocket before you let it go.

I can do that and hit a low stinger. If I stay more centered and let the hinge angle go at my zipper then I can hit a higher shot. Too soon is called flipping it and it is analagous to casting and or reverse pivoting. When you flip it you will reverse pivot worse and the knob kicks backward as the club releases with no weight transfer.

Sorry for the golf stuff...maybe you can clear the question up some
