Which deliver path should a swinger use Straight Line(10-23-A),or
Angle Line(10-23-B)? With a hip shift laterally, doesn't this cause a drop to the Angle Line?

Usually, neither.



Almost always, the Swinger using the Standard Pivot (10-12-A) takes the Hands and Club to an End Backstroke, i.e., Hands beyond the Right Shoulder (10-21-0). He then uses either the Top Arc and Straight Line (10-23-C) or (more common) the Top Arc and Angled Line (10-23-D). Each of these Paths can be used with the Zero Shift Plane Angle (10-6-A) -- rare with full Strokes -- or the Single Shift (10-7-B) or Double Shift (10-7-C).

In both Top Arc Paths, the Hands first retrace the Path from End to Top (Right Shoulder high), before beginning their respective Line Paths (the one Straight Line and the other Angled). Both Paths require a slight Downstroke Hip Slide. Otherwise, only the Circle Path (10-23-E) is possible, normally with Zero Pivot (10-12-D) and the Rotated Shoulder Turn (10-13-C).
