MgR/I for pronation: does this hp have some merit?

I have found this video:

and if you run through the comments you see that this guy relates the MgR/I thing to the ulnar to neutral to radial movement of the wrist. So, he suggest that ω (angular frequency, min 4:25, which equals the square root of MGR/I) might be relevant for covering / whipping / pronating speed at contact.

Looking at the video he proposes, it may seem credible. What do experts think?

Thanks.

The experts think you should ask @RanchDressing. He's the crazy guy who comes up with these interesting videos.

If your feeling really brave, ask him why TW doesnt have more ideas and vids like this on their site!

AY LMAO

If I was working there still, maybe they would have these videos (insert the appropriate winky face here). They would probably be about 1000x more professional. But I'm working on changing that. Except I will have ruthless meme's in the coming videos.


Anyway, yeah I think the ulnar deviation makes sense. But, after having thought more about the topic, the double pendulum still has to come in play. I think the effect is just felt there, with small degrees of movement in ulnar to radial deviation. Because when you introduce greater degrees of ulnar to radial deviation during or just before contact, the consistency in timing drops big time, but in my experience the higher mgr/i values really work. I actually want to do a video talking about the ulnar thing (not in terms of mgr/i but in terms of how the windshield wiper technique can really hurt you esp with higher swing weight, in due time... I'm getting a microphone this week so waiting, waiting, waiting).

That's just what I've felt personally. And I could absolutely be wrong. It's just my thoughts. Since I haven't seen any concrete evidence on it, I just took my crackpot guess at explaining it. At the end of the day if it works for you, then it works. If it doesn't then it doesn't. I'm more than willing to accept I don't have a foolproof, real answer for this question.
