Yoda,

Need some help understanding the basic curriculum in Chapter 12. Since the last email I have started as suggested with the Basic curriculm 12-5-1 and my 1/4" dowel. Am I correct in assuming that 12-5-1 is a "Basic Hitting Procedure"? If so and I choose to "Swing" why would it be nessassary to learn a hitting procedure?

Also Page 7 of preface says "if quick-Swing or if strong-hit". I am not quick, however I am strong but dont like hitting because of a dominate right side and fear of throwaway and the fact that I have great rhythm, is this ok icon_question.gif

The Fog is lifting



The 12-5-1/2/3 Patterns can be interpreted for either Swinging or Hitting. Theoptions are in the 'Reference No.'

Don't avoid Hitting because of Throwaway concerns. Learn to Load the Hitter'sLag and to keep your Right Wrist Bent as you straighten your Right Arm toDrive the Lag to the Both Arms Straight Position. It's the most efficient moveimaginable.

I had written a far more complete answer, but my Computer Tech just came inremotely to do a little late night fix-up and logged me out, wiping out about30 minutes of work in the process. Sorry...for both of us.

Maybe later.
