Remember, whether hitting or swinging, the elbow / right forearm location at impact are identical. Per 6-B-3-0-1 and 7-2-3. Since 6-B-3-0-1 requires a Strong Single Action grip- the right forearm from the above view, points in the same direction as the back of the left wrist- that's really part of the flying wedges. During the downstroke- the right elbow may be to the side (Punch) or in front of the hip (Pitch), as Matt pointed out based on the nature of the acceleration method used, the inherent lag loading requirements, which in turn create the different wrist actions, which in turn based on the flying wedge alignments produce different elbow locations, which in turn automatically produce different hinge actions inherent in each of the respective procedures- Hitting or Swinging. But in both cases the elbow/right forearm arrive at the same point at impact- that location you have established at impact fix- with the right forearm precisely positioned not only on-plane but precisely positioned in its same cross line direction as the back of the left wrist and lag pressure point (7-2-3)- fully supporting impact- with a level right wrist since that is the strongest anatomical position of the wrist/forearm alignment.

Superb post to illustrate the chain of events taking place! Let me reiterate:


Hitters:
Drive Loading (10-19-A) >>> Single Wrist Action (10-18-C) >>> Punch Basic Stroke (10-3-A)

In English:
Push >>> Left Wrist Cock only >>> Elbow at the side


Swingers:
Drag Loading (19-19-C) >>> Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) >>> Pitch Basic Stroke (10-3-B)

In English:
Pull >>> Left Wrist is Cocked and Turned on Plane >>> Elbow at the front
