Bunting 101. Lead (Left) elbow is pointed to the side of lead hand kept near knob and trail (right) elbow under trail hand pinched on barrel. Roll bat downward on contact. Most control and adjustability from this set up.
@Hititlonger 1. No mention of rear leg engining the ground - that's your comprehension mistake. 2. Not worried about extra distance. That's prob a golf thing.
Hip hinging may feel OK and even get you in the ball park but coiled rear hip is what allows you tilt correctly with minimal effort from the parts above the hip. The rear leg engines the upper body.
