[Introductory Note: This post discusses the Swinger’s Triple Barrel Stroke Combination and the erroneous notion that Release Triggers constitute Power Accumulators. In no way am I addressing what Tom Tomasello did in his swing or what he said he did (it varies from video to video and even in the same video). Nor am I concerned with the opinions of others regarding what he did or said he did. I have written extensively on this subject in the past, and I encourage all those interested to search my archived posts. ]

The Hitting Stroke involves Muscular Acceleration through Impact whereby the Lever Assemblies are Pushed via Right Triceps / Elbow Thrust (6-C-0 #1). In contrast, the Swinging Stroke involves Centrifugal Acceleration whereby the Clubhead is Pulled toward its In-Line condition by Centrifugal Force (6-C-0 #4).

All Stroke Patterns – both Hitting and Swinging – require both a Power Accumulator Combination (Component #4) and a Release Trigger (Component #20). By definition, the #1 Power Accumulator (Right Arm Thrust) is restricted to a Hitting Stroke (6-B-1-0). Therefore, the 1-2-3 Triple Barrel Accumulator Combination is limited to Hitters, and the 2-3-4 Variation is limited to Swingers.

The Hitter’s Basic Pattern (Drive Loading / 12-1-0) lists the Right Arm Throw (10-20-B) as the Release Trigger Variation. Similarly, the Swinger’s Basic Pattern (Drag Loading / 12-2-0) lists the Left Wrist Throw (10-20-E). And normally, these Variations are restricted to their respective Patterns because each is the natural byproduct of the Thrust of the Stroke itself. However, neither option defines its Pattern nor is its use mandatory.

Therefore, in a Swinging Motion (Right Arm or Left), the Centrifugal Throwout Release of the Left Wrist may be Triggered by the Right Arm. Nevertheless, as a Power Source, again by definition, the #1 Power Accumulator is passive.

Summarizing, Right Arm Throw (Release Trigger) and Right Arm Power (Stroke Variation) are not the same thing.

Well, why don't you just take the wind (hot air) out of this thread in one post!?!?

Must you always swat flies with wrecking balls? Party pooper....
