Willie's top hand description is muchlike the Mankin "oar lock" analogy.

My "thinking" following the overall Epstein model is that as the uncoking of the bat progresses.accelerating primarily by lead arm knob pulling (without push/disconecting hands) the primary role of the back arm/top hand is to stay with the back shoulder and assist in setting the up/down plane of the swing/adjusting for up/down by how more/less upright the axis of rotation gets before the bathead fires. The top hand can stay back and provide oar lock resistance to work with the lead arm as this happens.
