Hands and hips moving forward together. Hips are not leading the hands, no "overlap", or IOWs, no fyb....hence the term, "ABAF".
Agree !!

Just terminology, and the problem of having multiple definitions of "bat drag".
Actually dragging the bat through the zone is a completely different problem - and therefore addressed differently - than the common definition of the term of the elbows leading (ahead of) the hips to the ball which is simply a timing/sequence issue.
This is the whole point of combining the two cues. Keeping your heel down as long as possible keeps you from extending too early.You can’t do both. If you use the hip your heel comes up and you extend early.
So, If a player is ABAF, they can still stabilize enough, to create leverage and not drag?not necessarily, you can connect the shoulders to the torso on time and still drag it. Like I said it’s mobility after the mechanical issues are addressed. When I stated such, I was already assuming this much. Can’t do that here I guess. But again, fixing this issue has nothing to do w ‘hit the ball w the back hip’ or the hips leading in space or sequentially.
Edit: the root cause of drag is hyper mobility. If a kid can’t stabilize the structure it’s hard to create leverage.
So someone that doesn't have hypermobility won't bat drag?not necessarily, you can connect the shoulders to the torso on time and still drag it.
