At 1:50 he says the elbows stay the same distance apart during the swing, and that is proof the hands turn the bat head. He might want to get out a ruler. The elbows get 6-8 inches closer together (it's half the distance from upright elbow to the hip). I've measured this in motion software with MLB hitters, and at home.

Why is that important? It points out the importance of the elbow/shoulder in turning the bat head, and it means you shouldn't use hitting aid gadgets that are meant to keep the same elbow spacing throughout the swing.
