About 80% through the video its speaks of "shoulder on top of shoulder" at contact.

Anyone have a comment on this?

He's talking about tilt, which is an important concept.

The problem with his example is that I think he's comparing apples and oranges. The differences in tilt may exist because the plane of the pitch seems different. I think that also explains some other differences.

Like Slaught, he seems to have a two dimensional understanding of the swing and has observed buku swings but lacks a foundational understanding to hang the observations on IMO.
