Hi Joe,
Try looking at it from the center of the spine and see where the bat is at and if the hands and elbows are connected to shoulder rotation.

Hi Joe,
Disagreements are OK. Try looking at the rotation from the center of the spine. As long as the hitter stays connected to shoulder rotation you should see the start of the circle and once shoulder rotation is depleted the bat will be flat thru the ball maximizing contact with max velocity. Short to it - long thru it.
