I'm still on the fence about this one, maybe I'm not bright enough to figure it out. I fear though, that there may be a portion of those attempting this new technique that might be putting themselves on the edge of an armbar type situation - add fatigue and that could be problematic. I think -at this point- this technique might be better picked up if taught in person. But, hey, I might be wrong - isn't the first time, and I'm guessing it won't be the last.
I agree with the intent of the technique -to fix the torso rotation. But, from a developmental and a stability standpoint everything starts at the head and trunk. If there are distal stability issues, the first step should be to look at the midline of the body. If the goal of the technique is to fix the torso rotation at the bottom of the snatch, why try to fix it with the snatch? You can't fix whats broken by doing more of the same thing. And, yes, I understand the hand position is being altered - but how often has it been said "you cant' think your way through a ballistic drill"? Why not go 2-3 bell sizes higher and do some one arm swings - especially since the snatch is built off the swing.
If it works for you great, its the right technique for you. But, if torso rotation at the bottom of the snatch is your problem, it might take a little more work to fix than rotating your hand. Like I started this post out, I'm on the fence with this one still.
