If it does how much? A swinger's startup swivel is a 'true rotation', 90 degrees 'turn' back, 180 degrees 'roll' through. It is important to keep in mind that this is a sequenced release, uncocking the left wrist THEN rolling. It is the pivot and the straightening right arm that imparts the 'roll' through. A hitter would in many respects look like rotation, but the power package alignments are simply staying in their relative positions so any visual appearance of turn/roll is that of the entire power package, and not the lead forearm. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
