Jeff,

In the Tomasello video I have ( it's in the Gallery, Tomasello chapter 3), Tom talks about the attempt to release the right side wrist angle. He says to try to "undo the bend", and that as long as the left hip keeps moving, you won't be able to actually "undo the bend". Inertia will prevent the release of the angles from actually happening. It's the difference between actual and intent. Peter Croker (who had worked with Tomasello, I think) is a big proponent of this. I think that Martin Green supports this as well.

My personal belief is that this kind of swing thought is only effective if there's an effective pivot to go along with it. Otherwise, you will flip it; there will be throwaway.
