And then there are some who think “down to” cannot result in the desired barrel path … they continually post gifs of the pros isolating what the hands do and refuse to see the missing ingredients because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
Show me where I stated that. I'll wait...

Did I single you out? You were not specific in your post, neither was I.. right? However, are you saying you've never supported somebody showing a gif of Pujois demoing "down to" claiming they do not do this in a game?

And people say barrel path is not the same in the two swings... I mean isn't it obvious why the barrel doesn't react the same in the demo vs the game swing? Why are people still arguing the demos barrel path doesn't match demo path? Pros are only isolating hands in demos

What I have said repeatedly is that his barrel path in his game swing does not match his barrel path in the drill. It is then other people that twist that claiming that I am "claiming they do not do this in a game". There definitely is an agenda here, but it is not being pursued by me.

Because there are people outside these forums that are taking the pros literally...

Woodstock, man
Pros demonstrate what they heard all their life.
Herd mentality describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis.

Yet, their swings were never effected by the poor instruction.

That is why they are pros.

Most youth listen to this instruction, and develop fatal flaws and are forced out of the game.

It's really that simple.
