There are only two explanations for this thread continuing.

1.) You are still wrong, fundamentally, about the kinetic chain. Rotation of the hips before the brace is not part of the chain, period.

2.) You are trying to make a point that is beyond pedantic, and has already been addressed numerous times anyways.

I just don't get it.

I stopped the GIF at the moment she comes into brace. At that point, what direction are her hips?

The powerful hip rotation is happening after the brace and has nothing to do with initiating rotation from the rear hip socket. She is extending her knee into the brace, that is what you see.

Serious question, I'm not trying to be a D*ck here but do you have an old injury on your left side? This looks scarily unbalanced and as though you're trying to protect a knee from further injury?

As Sidewinder notes you are tipping over the top, you're not doing this in any kind of athletic motion.

Try jumping side to side quickly with your knees hanging under your body, basically just use the lower legs to bounce, not upper legs, immediate return back and forth. Not waiting and trying to balance on the other leg just bouncing back and forth.

Now stagger your legs slightly so your left toes are in line with your right heel. keep bouncing, keep just using your lower legs. If you do it a lot and start to pay attention to the feel you should feel the rear hip coming in (rotating) as you bounce back off the front foot.

A side benefit of this it will force your body into better balance (in all your videos your upper body is swinging out of control) , it will also hopefully help you start to feel some other stuff. Maybe.

Tried it, didn't work. One simply can't jump back and forth without doing something else to initiate hip rotation.

What is this something else you are getting at then? What initiates hip rotation for you? My guess is that you will say you push off the back leg to shove your rear hip forward. Is this incorrect?

The GIF goes past the moment of brace to include front leg extension.

Here is a more accurate moment of brace, at the moment the heel hits the ground:

You seem to have made up a term you call "strong brace" in order to include more of the motion that happens after brace. Bracing takes place while the swinging takes place, so in order to look at the swing, one must start at the beginning of brace.

This is why I posted the K-Vest analysis earlier. It more objectively measures the moment of heel strike. Your GIF seems to have been created with an agenda in mind, rather than to find when the actual brace happens.

Your stoppage doesn't show strong brace. I call it "strong brace" because that is the moment when the weight has fully shifted and you have max pressure under your foot. In your stopped point her front foot isn't even down all the way yet. Her front foot is on the inside edge. In mine it stops where you can see the whole foot firmly flat on the ground.
