Where's the Thrust? If the Thrust is "ahead" of the deadweight, it's pulling, if it's "behind" the deadweight, it's pushing. For a Swinger, The Left Shoulder and Arm are being Pushed by the Pivot but the Force acting on the Clubshaft is ahead of it. A horse Pulling a Hay-rack is pushing on its Collar but the Force is ahead of the cart.


The following can be found in my new book "Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural Diversity Among Hitters and Swingers". I'm hoping that Random House picks it up.


The Only Essential Difference between a Hitter and Swinger is the Mechanism that Uncocks the Left Wrist. See 2-P , 7-1, 10-19-0, 10-19-A below. It boils down to the Source of Thrust that moves the Clubshaft/Clubhead.

"2-P THE WRISTCOCK
Centrifugal Force alone Uncocks the Swinger’s Wrists, but Right Arm Thrust during Release is the Hitter’s procedure. Except per 2-M-3 these procedures are not compatible (10-19-0)."

"7-1 GRIPS – BASIC Basic Grip is the term indicating the mere act of holding on to the Club and relates primarily to the proximity of the Hands. They simply are either close enough to overlap or they are not close enough to overlap. So all non-overlapping Grips are Baseball Grips.

The Grips of Hitters and Swingers must differ in tightness. But still per 1-L-3, 6-B-3-0-1, 7-3 and 10-6-B. For the Swinger, Centrifugal Force Uncocks BOTH the Left Wrist and the Right Elbow per 7-19 and 7-20. So both must remain “Passive” but never “Whippy.” For the Hitter, the Right Triceps become “Active” and execute both Uncocking motions with a firmness that approaches the mandatory rigidity of the Right Wrist. With both procedures, the Flying Wedges’ alignments, as always, never waver. Grip types other than the Strong Single Action (10-2-B) either destroy the Wedges or produce inferior deviations. Also study 3-F-6. The prestressed (bent) clubshaft (10-19-A) and maximum Swing Radius (10-19-C) are resistances to Impact Decelerations that each must establish before – not during – Impact (2-M-1)."

"10-19-0 GENERAL….Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging."
Therefore, neither do their related procedures."

"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."

4 Barrel Hitting

Normally, the 3 Barrel Hitter uses the #4 PP to deliver The Loaded Power Package to the Launching Pad without Accelerating the Left Arm. See 2-M-3. Hmm? so there is a Launching pad somewhere other than the Top of the Backstroke. (my contention all along, but that's another thread)

A 4 Barrel Hitter “Looks” like a Swinger. In 2-M-4 below, is a description of "How" a 4 Barrel Hitter uses the Pivot to supply the initial Acceleration of the Loaded Power Package. A strong “Left Arm” Blasting off the Chest. Then, the Right Triceps is used to Uncock the Left Wrist with enough Force as needed to Overcome the "Pull" of CF. How long would that Procedure take to "Perfect"?

So, the Pivot can be used in one of Two Ways. It can either throw the Left Arm off the chest or simply deliver it. See 7-12 For further Hints on "How to become a 4 Barrel Hitter", see 2-M-3 below.

Most of the 24 Components already are the same with Swinging and Hitting.



"2-M-4 BODY POWER Inertia can hold the Left Arm against the chest while the Body Turn is accelerating it and Momentum can then sustain it and come out with the Feel of Left Arm Power. See 2-K. To clear the fog, consider Pivot Thrust as Body Power blasting the Swinger’s essentially inert Left Arm into orbit toward Impact. Or, as supplying the initial acceleration of the Hitters loaded Power Package so the Clubhead can be endowed with Pivot Speed PLUS Right Triceps Speed. Study 6-B-4, 6-C-0, and 7-12 in this connection."

"7-12 PIVOT………It is the massive vehicle which transports the Power Package Assembly to the launching pad and back-up support for the Hitters driving Right Arm (6-B-1). It is the massive rotor, supplying Angular Momentum for the Throw Out power transfer to the Swinger’s orbiting Left Arm (6-B-3)."
Bold by Daryl Meaning that for Hitters, the #4 PP is used to deliver the Power Package but not Release it's stored power.

"2-M-3 MUSCLES Unless Pivot Thrust actually drives #4 Accumulator through Impact, its assignment during that interval is more clearly defined if considered as delivery, guidance and support of the Power Package, because it may or may not have contributed anything but motion during Delivery. The Pattern of the Stroke being used designates where Thrust is to originate and that is completely the player’s option. See 10-4 and 10-19. Pivot Thrust alone (2-K), forfeits Right Arm Thrust (6-B-1). Power Package Thrust alone (6-0), forfeits Momentum Transfer (2-K). Only with the driver must you use both Pivot Thrust and Power Package Thrust for the lack of a longer Club. In which case – to Pivot Thrust add a strong Pressure Point #4 thrust per 10-19-C. Or to Power Package Thrust add the Shoulder Turn per 2-M-4. Study 4-D-0, 6-B-2-B, and 10-4-D in this connection."
