"The key to successful Hitting is the Delivery Path, not the Plane Angle. Specifically, the Hitter should limit his Backstroke to the Top of the Straight Line Delivery Path (10-23-A) and avoid the Swinger's End Stroke, that is, Top Arc and Straight Line (10-23-C)."

Basically, the HITTER should stop his backswing at the 'Top' (more of a '3/4 position')- that is as full of a swing as a hitter should EVER take because a hitter cannot start driving the right arm (thrust) from the 'End' of the backstroke.

On the other hand...a SWINGER will, on a full swing, stop at the 'End'.

As I said, a hitter cannot start driving the right arm (thrust) from the 'End' of the backstroke....from there (the 'End'), you would have to allow your hands to come all the way down to below the 'Top' before you thrust the right arm (below the '3/4 position'- this is where the right arm thrust starts).

So.....it would be ridiculous to take your hands to the 'End' if you are hitting because you will have to wait for them to drop wayyyyyy down. Unnecessary and inconsistent- hard to time.

They both trace a straight plane line ideally.
