Jack-

If you look at the Skeleton of Big Mac at the web address posted by Shawn under the hip rotation 2 thread,Mac is letting go with the top hand after contact.This seems to keep the bat on plane and allow the shoulder to keep turning back instead of breaking down the front arm.Do you think there is any advantage to this or intending to do this? Does this accentuate the pull back/bottomhand torque or keep things on plane better/longer?
