How does one determine where the Top is? Can the top be changed to gain more length?
If I can keep my swing from going past my personal "top" I see instant benefit, but under pressure one human nature wants to extend past the top......
at that point I can most anything.......blocks to the right, hooks, tops etc......
seems one would naturaly just stay compact and hitt it, but when you are close to 50 and playing with my 17 yr old son.............well you get the picture..............
Any direction to prev. threads and or links w/be appreciated along with discussion and thoughts on it

The Top of the Backstroke is where the On Plane Hands are Shoulder High. If the Hands go beyond that point, you have gone to the "End". The Drive Loading of the Hitter normally stops the Hands at the Top.
If you are a Hitter, stay "compact" and stop at the Top. I also find it useful to remind myself of Yoda's words: When Hitting, you're loading the Right Elbow and when Swinging, your loading the Left Wrist..
You might benefit from doing a word search and finding Yoda's posts on the "Downstroke Waggle".
Additionally, when extensor action is properly applied, it will limit your ability to go much farther. I started by zero'ing out my pivot and gaining full extensor action. Unreasonable power is available from this so called "short" top.
To whom it may concern,
Can anyone comment on the benefits of stopping at the top verses the side.
I once had it recommended to stop at the side.

If you stop at the "Side" you have an awful short swing...for example a pitch shot...or Allen Doyle ...
Now..... Are you referring to where the assembly of the power package or where the loading of the pressure points take place...I believe they are different...
I would like to hear more on this!!!
If you're properly executing a hitter's backstroke and are applying extensor action, it will limit itself.
Single Wrist Action + Punch Basic Right Arm Motion + Extensor Action Backstroke = Top Assembly Point
Standard Wrist Action + Pitch Basic Arm Motion + Extensor Action Backstroke = End Assmebly Point
I believe the best way to communicate this stuff is with the component format....most of the time it takes multiple components (integrate componenet concept) to describe a procedure.

Annikan,
My bad should have been more clear. I am referring to the assembly of the power package at the side 10-21B.
Can you comments on the benefits of this.

Sweep Loading + Right Forearm Level to the ground (any right forearm motion) = Side Assembly Point
See acquired motion......12-5-2.
