If you need to, save the clips and play them frame by frame in Quicktime. It is very noticeable.
And...
Check out the arc these Japanese players create. They each are different kinds of hitters....yet they all create the arc....and then move the arc in front of the ball.
Also, notice the upright nature of their spine. This is very important. Not completely upright...but not tilted over either. Athletic leaning toward upright.
It appears to me that they are all falling away from the ball. Is that not true?
