Thanks for the replies.

If I'm gonna start changing these components to more of a swinging or hitting pattern, I'll choose the hitters pattern. I love the right arm participation.

So here's my question: can a hitter use the pitch elbow?

D,

I guess you could, but it would seem more difficult and less efficient for delivering the right arm thrust that a hitter uses (take a look at 10-3).

The TGM journey is an interesting one. The more you get into it and the more you understand the component inter-relationships, the more clear the book becomes and you start to understand why it's written the way it is. For instance, the elbow position you employ is going to affect your hinge motion and your rhythm which are different for hitting and swinging.

If you're going with a hitters pattern (and I think that's a good choice for you) I'd start with 12-1-0 and stay as close to it as possible.
