The similar Rose clip, from the otherside of the plate, that circulates the message boards, has a blue line drawn on it. See the link below. The blue line connects the points of the hands as they swing. The blue line is not drawn with a high level of accuracy. If it was, you would see a much straighter line from launch to very near contact at which time the body's rotation "wins". The hands are going linear. But those hands are connected to the rotating body. The rotating body will always win.

You and others continue to deny the first several frames of linear hand movement. Why is that? I have to ask....have you every played? Did you pay attention?
