If I pull the knob of the bat back towards the catcher during contact, how do I receive any of the strength benefits that the extension of my lead-arm tricep muscles may offer? I don't know how to pull back on the knob and, at the same time, explode forward with my lead arm triceps. Those powerful muscles have to be used for something right? Secondly, are you sure the pivot point is between the two hands? If that were the case, I would never be able to swing with only my lead arm. I took a whiffle-ball bat, held my lead HAND and arm stationary, then created angular displacement by moving thru the range of my wrist. My top-hand wasn't on the bat to help create angular displacement. What was my lead hand pivoting around if I didn't have the top hand on the bat to create opposing torque forces? Thanks for helping to clarify these items for me. DC
