There being a "vertical drop" of the hands in B which would be better seen from a down the line perspective but is shown as a angled line in that photo from caddy view.

So, Im thinking the thrust of the Aiming Point Procedure commences once you have reached the top of the impact plane angle. Makes sense to me you wouldn't want to thrust at the aiming point and drop vertically at the same time. Plane shifters have to wait a little longer!

.

And yet again, pg 83:

"At the top of the Backstroke--even at the End(10-21-C)--mentally construct a line from the #3 Pressure Point to the Aiming Point."

which precludes any waiting and preempts the use of the Aiming Point concept in any DS with a plane shift which requires a vertical hand drop at a point off the Plane Line. Use of a plane shift on the DS takes the player close, but not entirely into the dark shadows of Pivot Controlled Hands.
