It may be related to what Yoda said: think Drive and "Unrelenting Thrust" through Impact. A short backswing is also better (Notice that the last 2 points are Hitter's caracteristics). "6-H-0 IMPERATIVES You can’t have Educated Hands unless you know what to teach them. The following curriculum is imperative. E. Associate the following with “Hitting” (10-19-A). See 7-19. 1. Angled Hinging (7-10) 2. Simultaneous Release (4-D-0) 3. Grip Rotation (7-2) 4. Single Wrist Action (10-18-C-2) 5. Active Right Elbow (7-20) 6. Fixed Lag Pressure Point (“10-11-0-3”) 7. Radial Acceleration (10-19-A) 8. Axe Handle Technique (6-F) 9. Slow Start Down (6-B-1) 10. Angle of Approach (2-J-3)" I know this is sixth edition text, but I like the fact that it puts the proper emPHAsis on the right sylLAbles. The Hitter must (imperative) have a slow Start Down. I've said many times that it feels, to me, like a crescendo. It starts softly and gets louder. The ability to accelerate is paramount. Over-acceleration is death. "10-19-A DRIVE LOADING Drive Loading is the “Axe Handle” technique of the “Hitter” – an out-and-out Right Arm Thrust against Clubhead Lag (Angular Inertia) striving to accelerate (radially) a Pre-stressed (Bent) Clubhshaft, from a slow Start Down through Impact. Per 7-19-1. See 2-N. All Short Shots can be short, strong Strokes, eliminating all unnecessary motion by using only the one Accumulator (until greater distance is needed). But always –PUSH a lagging Clubhead through Impact. Clubhead Throwaway here is due usually to over-acceleration. Use shorter Strokes and/or lower Thrust. The Stroke can be shortened per 10-15-B or by taking advantage of the fact that the Backstroke will stop when the Right Elbow becomes fully bent." If you'd like a little 4 Barrel action, Drag a little in Start Down. But, start it slowly. __________________ Yoda knows...and he taught me! For those less fortunate, Swinging is an option.
