10-23-B Angled Line Delivery Path

[Yoda]

Straight down, shifting to a shallower plane.

This is the Angled Line Delivery Path of 10-23-B. That is, "the Hands take a nearly vertical path to the Elbow [Plane] Angle" before they begin their Straight Line drive "directly at and through the Aiming Point."

Right there in plain English, and I've somehow managed to not see it! Thanks.

But the statement, "before they begin their Straight Line DRIVE" reminds me of our conversation in which you said that in a Swing, the hands don't drive toward the Aiming Point, but rather you are only aware of their direction toward the Aiming Point. This makes it sound as though 10-23-B is only for Hitting, but of course that isn't true. So what gives?

The Hands are always driven toward the Ball or alternative Aiming Point (6-G-0). That drive is supplied either by Centrifugal Force (Swinging) or by Muscular Thrust (Hitting).
