[Yoda]

“Fanning” is only mentioned twice in the 6th edition. Once at 12-5-1-17, “Right Forearm Fanning” and again at 10-3-A. “Fan” is never mentioned.

I would interpret the majority of the reply threads as making reference to a take away motion. When the question pertains only to a 10-3-A. I believe that is were the confusion comes in.

So, maybe Yoda can clear the air here and address H.K. definition of “fanning” pertaining to 10-3-A “From a "down-and-at-the-side" Elbow Position” when using 12-1-0. DRIVE LOADING BASIC PATTERN (HITTING) and 12-1-3.

In both the Punch and Pitch Major Basic Strokes, the Right Forearm Fans, i.e., the Hands move in an arc around the Right Elbow. The term applies on both the Backstroke and the Downstroke. Only with the Push Basic Stroke do the Hands remain in a line between the Elbow and the Ball.
