This cue reality stuff is very complicated/detailed and interpretations are shaded by feel and assumptions about how feel is associated with video.

Epstein defines the torque position as the angle os separation after the heel has dropped.This may be important for drills and part practice.However,My thinking is that when the hips "hook up" to reversse/uncoil the torso(something that actually works up the spine,not just a 2 parter),it may be possible for the front foot to still be in the air or for there to be toe touch without heel drop,especially when you have to turn fast on the inside pitch.The front foot probably has to be down for good hip deceleration.This may only matter diagnostically at many frames per second.Or it may be useless or worse,confusing.Just some thoughts from looking at too much slowmo.
