Ive always wondered if the quote in questions was more reflective of Homers thinking from earlier editions than his later ones.... wondered if it was an unrevised hold over from earlier days. I say this because I believe that in the end Homer had a preference for the TSP and not shifting down to the lower elbow planes.
Also the quote would appear to reference a zero shift procedure via the so called "theoretical" Left Shoulder Plane, with zeroed number 3 angle , the left arm on the inclined plane in other words. A procedure that would eliminate any roll power of the #3 accumulator. Not so good for full shots.
Me, I like the way Brian Gay does it ........what ever you want to call that. MInimal shift from a low TSP to a higher elbow plane or zero shift with him riding a low TSP/high Elbow combo all the way. And a good old fashioned grip with the butt end under the heal pad, Hogan style......no zeroing of the #3 angle in other words.
Im kinda thinking the glossaries definition of Pivot is at odds with the notion of a mechanical advantage derived from the right forearm being at right angles to the spine ....... but I could be wrong , again.
Id like to hear the answer to your question if Yoda or someone else knows ....... great topic. Got my pencil waiting so i can make a notation on that page.
