OK... my 7th edition is not here so I don't have any of the new info in front of me. But...... I tend to use what I believe is a fairly "small pulley" (bordering on a snap release). My understanding of the EB is that my hands are taking a straight line path into release at which point the linear velocity of my hands is translated into angular velocity as CF throwout begins. That angular velocity is faster than the linear by an amount that's related to the pulley "size".
When I want to really "stand on one" I almost always revert to trying to keep my hands accelerating into impact which (I believe) disturbs CF and the EB action. If my understanding is correct what I should be doing when I want to hit one further than "normal" is to either decrease my pulley size and/or find a way to get my hand speed
up in the period between start-down and release. I should
not try to keep the hands accelerating past the release stage.
Sound correct?
