My guess is that with pivot controlled hands they preferred to change the aiming point concept since they might not want to put "the mind on the hands".
I think McHatton and Doyle part ways on that from my perspective . . . how do you have soft wrist and try to get the handle pointing at the target when your hands are covering your peter in the downstroke with your right elbow at your navel . . . looks like a recipe for tilting back and flashing the face . . . to me . . .that ain't Rhythm. Sorry I know this may be some sort of throwing stones at an apostle but this is off-plane plane handle raising tilting back to me. Accumulators release . . . how are you gonna get to the ball with that much trigger delay and shaft lean without tilting back?
