Description
Inter elbow distance at ball contact measures the distance between the lead and rear elbows at the moment of ball contact, indicating the arm separation and positioning during impact.Normative Ranges
Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 25th–75th percentiles.Use Cases
- Arm positioning
- Transfer of body’s rotational power to bat
