Number Four: "The Right Forearm tracing down the Delivery Line."

6-E-2-1 Thrust Direction. "....The Hands must always take one of the Delivery Paths (10-23) but even with the Circle Path, the Thrust is still a straight-line EFFORT toward the Aiming Point. And even "Tracing (5-0) must not disrupt it."

Does this text relegate "Tracing" to a secondary position, or not?

No- same position- different view of the line.

The Tracing of the Plane Line (ground) is automatic when you monitor the Delivery Path of the Hands or use an Aiming Point concept. Hands ‘trump’ forearms as a “Visual Adjustment” (my word). The Hands and Forearm are still on plane, you are just “seeing” and monitoring one of them from your perspective. And Hands have top priority. So drive pp#3 to your hearts content straight into the ball- aft rear.
