Jed, I had this same discussion with Kevin. Maybe it's just me, but I do use the rotation that is similar to racquetball or baseball in my sweep roll. I do it very slowly, and just rotate my upper torso. There's a bit of an aspect of lean in it, for certain, but it's much closer to baseball than my c-to-c roll, which is more or less a violent lean, with almost no sweep. With that roll, I agree with you 100%. Could be that I learn by "feel", and it's just that it feels the same. I'd like to have someone videotape me doing about 10 or 12 different rolls, so I can actually see how I do them. Could be interesting. Anyone here ever do that?
