Interesting Interpretation

Regarding the grip alignment: was doing an experiment last week, took some video comparing my right hand swing with my left handed swing (learned to switch hit when I was about 12, which was also many moon ago). With my right hand swing my bottom elbow dove into my side and jumped ahead of my hands. However, it did not do it with my left hand swing. Was trying to figure out why the difference and one of my sons pointed out to me that my knuckle alignment was much different righty vs lefty. My right hand door knuckles were fairly close together right handed , while left handed they were much stronger, like Bonds.

Playing around with this concept, it appears that the stronger grip puts your elbow into a better position to allow everything to work together.
