A swinger continues to End to load the pressure on the top of the shaft, where the hitter stops at Top (right shoulder high and on plane) to load the pressure on the back of the shaft. In all cases, the left palm will lay flat to the plane at top for both.

In rereading this post the above quote cleared the fog for me. I never understood what the advantage was for the hitter stopping at Top instead of side or end, but now I definetly do. When stopping at Top the shaft is completely loaded on the back. At side it is not fully loaded, and at end it is loaded on top of the shaft.
