I guess I am still out to lunch, after reviewing my notes, etc I still ??? Some of the comments seems to have jumped beyond Basic Motion.

Mike0, enjoy the posts, always learning, keep them coming.

In 12-5-0 it is stated, Where applicable, interpret the items per the basic Stroke Pattern, that Hitting or Swinging. Either 12-1 or 12-2--not both at the same time.

In my feeble incubator, I read this to mean if I was going to Hit, then I could use PP#1 while allow PP#3 to monitor lag. Since where is no shoulder turn and with swinging I must rely on using PP#2 and use PP#3 to monitor lag. This seems to work for me, but this seems to be a bit different than I am reading. Frankly I have yet to master the hitting motion, right arm drive and using only PP#3 and be able to monitor lad and create extensor action. Maybe my grip is at fault, maybe I am not applying the finger correctly or tight enough. I tried again today and was unsuccessful, though I know not to expect instant success, but it wasn't that it didn't feel right, it didn't work as a gap was often created at PP#1. Ugly. Maybe my hands are just too loose.

Somewhere, sometime Yoda had written that Basic Motion should first be learned with just using the Hands as the starting place.

I get the feeling that I have been doing this wrong or not as it should be if I am to follow the basic motion.

Guess I will sit out and read somemore. In search...
