> When the bat is pulling away from the path of the ball means the hands have started acring over toward third-base before the bat-head enters the contact zone. This is common with batters who accelerate the bat knob-first. They reach near full extension of the back-arm before the bat-head arcs outward.

Jack

If the implication is a linear movement of the hands causes this, I can pull off the ball without this linear movement. I can rotate off the ball if you will. And usually it takes better separation to correct it.

The hips and the torso rotating together at the same time takes the hands out of the zone way too quickly. Add separation and the hips leading will keep the bat in the zone much longer.
