However, their only similarity is the use of the Right Elbow Stroke Center. Otherwise, the two Strokes retain their separate identities, poles apart on the spectrum that is Swinging versus Hitting. Why did Homer call it a right arm swing, if the right arm swing using 10-3-K is a Hit through impact? The Right Arm Swing is not a Hit through Impact. Nor does it employ the Bat as the means to its end. Instead, it is a Swing with active Right Arm participation and a Right Elbow Center. These last two characteristics are also attributes of the Hitter's Bat Minor Basic Stroke, but that is where the association ends. The 'loosened Wrists' of the Right Arm Swing give that Stroke its Rope Handle character, just as the rigid Wrists of the Bat give it its Axe Handle character. But the Bat (driven by Muscular Thrust) is not the Right Arm Swing (driven by Centrifugal Force). Or vice versa. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
