Gotta stop you here....swinging from the feet is NOT ...related to SWINGING procedure exclusively.....it is related to PIVOT LAG....the Hitter doesn't not forfeit pivot lag, nor swinging from the feet, nor maximum radius due to HIS SELECTED PROCEDURE.....just want to be sure we are clear there....
Being of the opinion that Hitters can employ Drag Loading (with compensations and reservations) I totally agree.
In the first edition 12-1 SAMPLE PATTERN - FULL STROKE Homer's pattern includes amongst other components:
-10-3-A Punch
-Tripple Barrel
-10-10-D Dual Horizontal
-10-19-C Drag Loading
-10-20-B Right Arm Throw
This is not an uncompensated stroke pattern ( like the later editions 12-1 and 12-2 I believe) but surely the inclusion of Drag Loading and Right Arm Throw implies they are "useable" and not "incompatible" . Why would he reference them if they were otherwise? Although Homer did have a certain "way with words" ... I think we can all agree on that one.
Above the pattern he writes:
" It is also advisable to note, under "Comments" , those components whose selection was based on use as compensation for troublesome or incompatible Components. An adequate explanation should also be given".
