But. creating it includes much more. You can't bend your sheet metal if you're not one-legged. You can't bend your sheet metal if you don't have the bottom of the torsion spring tight. You can't bend your sheet metal if the rag isn't wrung properly. It is THE LEG....that turns the spine into the scap. If the hip socket isn't right....the leg isn't right....and that won't happen.
When your sheet metal is bent properly....the corner CAN BE FELT.....as.....the body turned in the hip socket so that the hipline/shoulderline separation appears. Fused rear hip/leg turned open. Shoulders still back. BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL THAT THE SEPARATION POINT IS THE HIP SOCKET.....NOT THE WAIST.
THEN.....the barrel is turned rearward in a plane perpendicular to the torso plane.....which is diagonal to the hip/leg plane.
McCutcheons shoulder line is the first base line....created by his torsion spring load. Hip coiled. Back pulling back. Scap holding/pinching.
His hip line is to the pitcher. Coiled hip/leg assembly is turned forward a bit by the leg.
He is tight at the scap/spine junction.
He will maintain that tightness as he turns the barrel rearward.
He will turn the barrel and create an arc PERP to the shoulder line. He will pinwheel his shoulders. He will not merry go round his shoulders.
This pinwheel launch GREATLY INCREASES THE TORSION SPRING STRETCH. Greatly increases the scrunch. The barrel is going rearward. The leg fights it. The leg turns the rearward diagonally launched barrel into the ball.
Slop is when your energy has to go from the ground.....or from the hip....to the bat....at GO....instead of from the scap/spine junction to the bat at GO.

Two pros remain 'on the barstool'....as they pivot.
