MrT ... good for you for running under-the-hood experiments. My hats off to you.
So from your perspective, if I understand it correctly, the sequence is something like this ....
0: Starting from a position closed to your target ... with the lead shoulder closest to your target and the throwing shoulder further from the target.
1: Performing a hand break, the upper portion of the throwing arm internally rotates as the hips gain ground. I personally consider the hips gaining ground to be an absolute during the hand break.
2: The lead thigh rolls over ... i.e., the lead upper leg externally rotates ... and this triggers you to TE ( i.e., to arch your back). The combination of TE, and rolling your thigh over, virtually automates the occurrence of external rotation of the upper throwing arm. Your throwing arm moves to an angle less than 90-degrees (not an "L") as the stretch from the lower back to the throwing shoulder increases.
3: The ball/hand/throwing arm is whipped forward as the arm extends. Thoracic extension turns to thoracic flexion and you follow through in a manner that basically has your torso horizontal with the ground. Your throwing shoulder, which was further away from your target during the hand break, is now closest to your target.
Is that the sequence you are envisioning? Something like that?
