Offensively: RHH. Tall, slightly open stance with a wide setup, the hands show slight rhythm bouncing on the shoulder pre-load.

The barrel worked slightly uphill through contact towards a high finish deep above the shoulder. Showed some length in the stroke with barrel whip at impact, was able to create loud contact at the front of the plate.
