Couple things to keep in mind....
1) The thing that causes more string slap than any other factor (regardless of BH) is your draw length. Too long=STRING BURN.
2) The brace height has NOTHING to do with the string angle (independently) as jmex states. A 29 inch ata bow with a 12 inch brace height will have a MUCH MUCH steeper string angle at full draw than that of a 41 inch ata bow with a 5 inch brace height... it is simple geometry. It depends on your DL, the BH and the ata of the bow, but all things held equal, shorter ata means steeper string angles. You have to take into account the riser geometry and the limb angles and everything, you cannot just make a blanket statement. THAT SAID, I think what he was trying to convey is the fact that a shorter BH bow with longer draw length will have a tendancy to be effected by torque more throughout the shot process (while the while is on the string) As he mentioned, this is not a timing factor as much as a factor of the closer string being closer to the riser will show the effects of torque more than a longer bh. It will not cause you to actually torque it more, it will just have a worse outcome if you do. As mentioned, good torque free form will make this a non issue..... In hunting, it is not always possible to get that form (in a stand, bihind bushes, extreme angles etc.
3) it is a constant argument about whether or not the BH effects torque more because it is "on the string longer" or with goemetry issues as JMEX brings up. I tend to ignore the "time on string" argument for torque..... But one thing is for certain, the time on the string (power stroke) does have a large effect on the SPEED of the arrow. I have friends (prfessional shooters sponsored by hoyt and mathews) that shoot ligher target arrows because they feel that the less time on the string the more forgiving the bow is..... believe what you want, but trust me, it works for them. I watched one shoot three rounds on a vegas face in a row and only drop 1 baby X haha
4) if you are taking your grip off you are ADDING DRAWLENGTH. It may only be a quarter of an inch, but it can be a big difference. I can tell when my string has stretched to where my DL is off by only an eighth of an inch. FACTOR THAT IN.
5) string stops help a lot
