Well, you could go into a lot of detail, say well your hips unwind, and your shoulders unwind, and your arms come down, and your hands release, and you could say all kinds of things. But if you were going to throw a ball hard, you wouldn't think of all those things, you would just throw it hard. If you were going to throw a punch hard, if you were going to do anything hard, just the word doing it hard, doing it with force, aggressively. At impact, because that's the only place that really matters.
