> Yes it does. And, for a moment in the chp the knob is also pulled toward first base. But that does not mean the batter should extend his hands in that direction either. Getting the bat-head to come around is what the batter should be concentrating on – not how quick he can extend the knob.

> Your right Jack I just think this is an example of some falacies in hitting where someone knows just enough to mess hitters up.See the truth is the knob does go at the ball but not for long yet someone takes this out of text and teaches to keep the knob going at the ball and it changes the entire swing and outcome.Another is the throw the hands where you don't really throe them but as Tom said when the bat fires which I consider when real bottom hand torque is applied before contact the hands feel like they have been thrown when really their just along for the ride and then they roll over in follow thru?Maybe,what do you think.
